- Don't scold me. It makes me resent you. Advise me gently. I will listen.
- If you don't like my behavior, tell me you don't like it and show me your sadness not your anger. I hate seeing you sad because I love you. I will try to behave better.
- Don't nag at me. It puts me in the defense and I won't listen to you.
- Tell me my mistake once and tell me firmly. Then don't ever tell me again. When you keep in telling me the mistakes I made, I feel that you don't respect me.
When I feel that you don't respect me, I purposely do more mistakes to make sure you get hurt like you are hurting me. - Don't call em 'Stupid!' Explain to me what is right instead. Be kind and I will love you forever.
- Don ever call me a nuisance. It hurts me very deeply. Ask your self, what if your spouse calls you a nuisance - how will you feel. Perhaps then you will know it is very wicked to call a person a nuisance.
- And lastly, don't forget to Allah created me. He loves me a lot. He gave me to you as an Amanah - trust. Treat me with care and affection. Guide me with care and affection. Talk to me with care and affection.
