Islamic Guidelines for a Successful Marriage

Marriage in Islam is built on mercy, tranquillity and mutual respect. The Qur'an describes spouses as garments for one another: they protect, comfort and beautify each other.
Start with sincere intentions, choose a partner for their faith and character, and keep both families involved with honesty.
After the nikah, keep the relationship alive with kindness, consultation (shura) and regular prayer together. Small daily acts of care matter more than grand gestures.
