How should spouses deal with criticism from each other?

Constructive feedback can help a marriage, but repeated insults, humiliation and harsh criticism can damage trust and emotional connection.

What Islam teaches

Islam encourages good speech and kind treatment. Correcting a spouse should not become an excuse for humiliation or abuse.

What you can consider

Discuss behaviour rather than attacking personality, choose an appropriate time and acknowledge positive qualities as well as areas that need improvement.

Qur'an 49:11; Qur'an 4:19.
