PETALING JAYA - Couples who want their marriage to last and be happy need to practice the three sunnahs of Rasullullah SAW that need to be done together, namely eating, sleeping and bathing.
Independent preacher, Ustaz Ahmad Farkhan Daie said, divorce often happens when the couple does not take seriously the sunnah of the Prophet.
More worryingly, he said, a total of 121 divorce applications were filed in syariah courts nationwide a day or the equivalent of five cases an hour.
"A husband should try to eat with his wife. More importantly, if you can, eat your wife's cooking, it will definitely increase your love for your wife. It's a loss to eat at a restaurant every day.
“Try to take a bath with your wife at least once a week. This will cause the love between husband and wife to become stronger, "he said in a post on his Facebook page today.
He added, husbands should avoid sleeping in another room or in front of the television and let their wife sleep alone, because you will get used to it. As time goes by the feelings of love and affection fade in the relationship.
According to Ahmad Farkhan, there are also cases that have to be done to be far apart such as husband and wife not living together due to work.
"In this case, every couple needs to trust each other to maintain the relationship as well as honesty," he said.
