			This is not one of the ways a person has to obey their parents, you have to understand that at some
point, you know, when you get into a marriage, you still have it obviously becomes very difficult to
honor both your parents and honor the spouse and that often becomes a turf war and very territorial.
But at the same time, your obedience to your parents does not mean that you can trample the rights
of your spouse. Because honoring the rights of someone that Allah subhanho wa Taala has allocated
towards you is actually honoring Allah subhanho wa Taala himself. Now, what does this mean when you
start to see that, see that conflict, obviously, you want to play the peacemaker role. I tell

			spouses all the time, try to patch up things never tried to take your spouse away from their own
parents, except in very exceptional situations. But for the most part, trying to be a you know, a
productive piece of keeping the ship moving in the right direction in sha Allah, because ultimately,
you know, honoring our parents is one of the ways in which we honor Allah subhana wa Tada. So trying
to help your spouse honor their parents is something that is good, and trying to do as much as we
can, without tolerating abuse and volume and oppression. To keep things steady, is something that's
rewardable in the sight of a loss parents out of but never should a person wrong their spouse

			because their parents tell them to do so. And so this is not the way that unless parents are the
messengers intended for us when we talk about honoring our parents, so you don't have to divorce
your spouse because your parents want them want once you to. Instead, try to be as much of a
peacemaker as you can and Charlottetown and maintain the rights of everyone without trampling anyone
and honoring the way that our last parents taught us to honor those who he has placed above us.
