MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MARRIAGE!
Mallam Dhul-Kifl grinned when he saw his daughter, Rumayza and the husband Ukhaasha walked into the house. The old man, was on one of his rare visits to his daughter and in-law. He had to succumb after several pleas from his in-law to move from the confines of village to city to spend the 'Eedul-Fitr Holidays. This his in-law believed he needed to comfort the old man from loneliness after his wife’s demise three months ago. After dinner that evening, he whispered to his son in law that if they don’t mind, he would love to have a quick word with the couple after the children have gone to bed. By 9pm, the couple was back to the dinner table to hear what the old man had to say. 

He started by asking them a simple question “What is the most important thing in your life Rumayza? She replied, “Daddy, it is the kids o! They mean everything to me”. He then turned and asked Ukhaasha, the son in law the same question, he also beaming with pride said :"it is the kids of course; they are the reason why I work so hard to ensure they have a better life”
Mallam Dhul-Kfil replied, well said my children, I don’t mean to intrude on how to run your family life, but I believe there is a fundamental error you would need to correct. He said “ I have observed how much you both love your kids and dedicate all your time for them.
Forgive me if I have eavesdropped a couple of times, but doesn’t all your conversation bother mostly on the kids? The coupled stared sheepishly in admission to the assertion.
He continued, I am a poultry farmer, and the biggest egg supplier in my district. I make my money by the quantity of eggs sold. 

That said, my priority has always been providing optimal care for the chicken. Because I know that when the chicken are healthy and productive, the eggs will come automatically be bountiful. *If I start to ignore the chicken, the eggs will also suffer*.
He pointed to Kehinde and said, “as a husband, the most important person in your life should be your wife and vice versa. It cannot be the kids. They are just   products of the marriage. *If you learn to take care of each other very well, your kids would grow up healthy, strong and successful, but if you ignore each other, brace yourself up for dysfunctional kids in the future*.

The two of you are the foundation of this family. If you suffer any form of crack, the whole house will go down. So please make time for yourself and treat each other as VIPs and the kids will be just fine.
This has been the secret of the fruitful union between your mum and I for over 50 years till death took her from me. The old man couldn’t help it but began to shed tears at this stage. He thanked the couple for their time and excused himself to his room.

I am sure most married couples can identify with this story, where the focus shifts 100% to the kids and barely have time for each other. They later are amazed they lose the magic connection between them. If care is not taken, those connection needs gets outsourced, thereby opening up your marriage to all sorts of strange elements and even divorce

Let your kids know and feel that your spouse means the world to you and if you are to choose between them and your spouse, it will always be your spouse.
Give the kids the love and attention they deserve but not at the expense of each other. You are the real deal. It is your marriage that will sustain your kids, not vice versa. The kids are just bonus!!! Wish all need major changes in our marriage and family life.
Best wishes...

Everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. Don’t be violent or mean to yourself for no reason other than just because your path is different from the person’s path beside you.

*TIME IS SOMETHING* She is married at the age of 21. - Oh and I’m still single at 35. She’s momming three kids. - Oh and I am 10 years married and have none. She is a manager in an international company. - Oh, we graduated together and I am still jobless. She travels the world . - Oh and I have never been abroad. Job title, income, grades, house, and Instagram and Facebook  likes—the number of categories in which we can compare ourselves to others are infinite. Where is it expected from you to be a doctor or engineer, get married by 21 and have mortgaged house and 3 kids by 26. RELAX. You’re not LATE. You’re not EARLY. Everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. Don’t be violent or mean to yourself for no reason other than just because your path is different from the person’s path beside you. Be your own cheerleader. Stop comparing yourself with others and instead refocus all that energy internally and focus on how you can become the best versio

Ruling on women spending of their own wealth without their husbands permission

Ruling on women spending of their own wealth without their husbands permission      Question I am a working woman, and I have a salary from which I spend on myself and my home, I give some to my family and I give some in charity, and so on. Many of the arguments that I have with my husband arise because of the way I spend my money. Does my husband have the right to object to the way I spend my money? Do I have to ask for his permission when I want to spend any of my money? Answer Praise be to Allah. Undoubtedly the free adult person who is of sound mind and discernment is permitted to dispose of his own wealth with no restrictions as long as he is alive, whether he is buying, renting, giving a gift, establishing a Waqf (endowment) or any other kind of transaction. There is no dispute among the scholars on this point. There is also no dispute among the scholars concerning the fact that the husband does not have the right to object to the way his wife handles her wealth
