Respect in the family

Respect in the family

The family is a sacred and irreplaceable institution in which everyone's personality is formed before and more than anywhere else, and it is a platform where a person's nature and destiny are shaped to a great extent. From this point of view, Islam considers the family to be in a position incomparable to any other position, and by legislating practical and effective rules and customs, it has used all the religious-belief capacities for its growth and sustainability. Home and family have not been respected as much as Islam in any religion or school. What justification can be found when Islam has given the most special and private marital relationship a spiritual color and considered it to be the cause of divine forgiveness, other than the claim of preserving the family system.
I wish we had a deep review of Islam's attitude towards man and his behavior, then we would understand beauty with all our being. Islam considers the family organization to be a source of peace and tranquility, and in this sense, it calls the four walls of family life, housing. Housing means a place of peace. Imam Sadiq (a.s.) introduces the wife as agreeable (companion of the same opinion) in life as a source of comfort for a man.

Respect
Respect means maintaining dignity and personal privacy in relationships and social interaction. Islam does not accept the violation of privacy even in the case of the closest relatives and relatives. Also, no excuse can be used to violate the rights and boundaries of others, and marital relations are not excluded from this basic principle. If the position of men and women is not maintained at home; Its management will not be controllable in any way and will have a direct effect on the relationships of spouses and children. Therefore, Imam Sadiq (a.s.) introduces a happy woman as follows: "She is happy, she is happy; The woman who respects her husband and does not hurt him and obeys him in all stages of life.

In a narration, Mam Sadiq (a.s.) mentions some of the duties of a family man in life: "A husband does not need three things in his relationship with his wife; Adapting to him in order to attract his love and affection by this means, and being cheerful with him and loving him by adorning himself for him and providing him with comforts.
On the other hand, he gives good news to the women of the family: "Any woman who gives her husband some water, it is better for him than a year of worship if he fasts during the days and worships during the nights. Instead of any amount of water that her husband drinks, God will build her a city in paradise and forgive her sixty sins.
Expressing positive feelings to the other party strengthens relationships and encouragement, because if these verbal and tangible expressions do not exist, friends in general and life partners in particular will perceive each other as inconsiderate and ungrateful. And this hurts their relationship. On the other hand, gratitude is a sign of satisfaction and contentment with the husband's assets, and as a result, it strengthens the foundation of the family.
