I want you to go back tonight, brothers and sisters, to begin to repair the relationship, and can I tell you the key? In sha Allah, one of the keys, is to be Patient with each other. I have never found in my life...ever, a person with no defects. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it, in my life time. That means from the Imam's on down, we got defects. Brother, that sister that you are going to marry tomorrow, the next week; I don't care what she looks like now, but when you marry her, you gonna see something that you never saw before! Because, you know what? It's easy to have relationships from a distance. That's easy. That sister appears to be so nice, 'O she is so submissive!' until you get married. But brother because you gonna find something in her that you don't like, and this is why the Prophet (ﷺ) told us: "Let no Muslim man hate his Muslim wife because if he is displeased with one characteristic of hers, if he hates one characteristic - he will be pleased with another." Because when you marry that woman, she's a package deal and with that package comes the good and the bad, the beauty and the ugly...and so it is with the brothers. It's a package deal, and so one of the great things, the great keys is to be patient with those things that you don't like.
By Imam Siraj Wahhaj
