6 most important responsibilities of spouses
Family - is the smallest and most important social group. The family is the foundation of society. Based on the importance of the family as the foundation of a healthy society, our religion is easier to do with marriage, thus encouraging people to start a family.However, Islam is not limited to the motivation to create a family, but at the same time establishes the fundamental principles of family life, laying on each of its members specific duties and responsibilities.
The general responsibilities of spouses in family life are the following:
1. Love.
Love - this is the sense in which most need the spouses, both at the time of starting a family, and throughout their life together. Love is the main source of supply of our domestic happiness. In the case when this source dries up, our happiness is threatened.Therefore it is necessary to remember that love for Allah Almighty also requires us, as Muslims, to love our wife / husband.
2. Respect.
The second most important common responsibility of the spouses is respect for each other. Respect implies recognition of the personal merits of each of the spouses, the attention to the spiritual and material values of each other, as well as respect for each other's rights. Respect your husband / wife a man should treat him / her as well as he would have wanted to be treated himself.
Respect requires careful, polite, gentle and caring attitude. Therefore, respecting the other person, never allow yourself to cry or scold her husband / wife, insult, humiliate or taunt that is valuable to the other person.

3. Patience.
On the one hand the marriage implies a greater responsibility of each of the spouses. And at some point, because of this increased responsibility, each of the spouses may be difficult, which consequently can lead to stress. And in a moment of patience it is an extremely important factor to prevent the emergence of conflicts in the family.
Patience must be exercised in respect of negative words and actions of one of the spouses and in respect of those moments when the couple can not fulfill the desires of each other. This is an excellent quality must be taken not only in respect of the spouse / spouses, but also to their relatives and friends. It must be remembered that the patient awaits a great reward from Allah Almighty.
4. Fidelity.
Loyalty means full trust of the spouses to each other in words and deeds, as well as contentment beauty, physique and moral qualities of each other, and eliminates the search attempt something else. The opposite of loyalty is betrayal, which in turn is ingratitude to Allah. Betrayal is strictly forbidden by Allah Almighty, and is one of the qualities of hypocrites, as the Quran says: "O you who believe! Do not betray Allah and the Messenger and do not encroach on the property entrusted to you knowingly "(al-Anfal 8/27).
5. Complete intimate life.
Sexual attraction is an integral part of the innate nature of man. This power allows a person to enjoy; It motivates him, which is reflected in the literature and poetry; It is a means of procreation. The man who controls this power and use it as part of what is permitted, is chaste.
Then, as one who can not control his lust, or use illegal ways to meet, becomes a profligate, like unto the beast. Our religion teaches us that the best and cleanest way to meet this desire, a marriage and family ties. Allah Almighty says in the Quran:
"Your wives are arable land for you. Come as your tillage, when and as you wish "(al-Baqarah 2/223). This verse indicates that Islam is by no means does not interfere with the satisfaction of sexual desire, legally.
"You covered for them, and they are covered for you" (Al-Baqarah 2/187). That is, this verse indicates that the spouses protect each other from the haram.
6. Responsibility.
By the above-mentioned obligations, the fulfillment of which is necessary to create a strong and happy family, should also add such an important element as a sense of responsibility. This responsibility means, above all, self-education, and the realization that the family of each of the spouses is a Amanat, and that for this amanat will need to answer before Allah Almighty.
