A couple faced a daunting challenge when the husband suffered a stroke, followed by the wife. This predicament took a toll on their lives, especially the wife, who became the breadwinner after her husband’s health and financial struggles. Now, with her own health compromised, their future looks uncertain. Imagine the suffering this family might endure, especially if their children are still young and unable to shoulder responsibilities.

Life is a trial, and marriage can be one too.i Reflecting on Allah’s mercy can foster appreciation for one another. No one wishes for afflictions like losing a spouse or struggling with health issues. As couples, let’s cultivate gratitude and hope in Allah. Your husband may not give you everything you want, but he’s still trying. Your wife may have weaknesses, but she’s alive and cares for your children. Marriage isn’t about comparing your partner to others; it’s about appreciating what you have. Alhamdulillah in all situations.
