Habib Bobat – Marriage – Does your partner feel safe to open up

			Allah so beautifully describes the relationship between husband and wife. Allah refers to them as
they pass a government and to one another. And Allah says a wife is a government unto the husband,
and the husband is a government unto the wife. But what is the purpose of a garment, the purpose of
a garment is to provide protection. If there's a scar, if there's a wound on the body, the common
does a wonderful job in concealing that, the world outside would not even know about it. Likewise,
in a relationship, a husband and a wife is ought to feel safe and comfortable with one another,
where they can be vulnerable in front of each other. And yet, they can feel safe and assured that
		

			their partner would not leak anything to the world outside. They will not a their dirty laundry in
public. After all, we all humans and everybody has got vulnerabilities, everybody has got
weaknesses, everybody has got shortfalls. But a partner is ought to be a team player and safeguard
the secrets the vulnerabilities of a partner. What a beautiful expression Allah has used, whom the
diverse will look from one end to diversity alone. They are government unto you and you are a common
unto them.
