Short answer
Repeated disagreement should be approached as a relationship issue rather than as a competition between spouses. Both should try to understand the other's concerns and expectations.
Islamic Guidance
What Islam teaches
Islam emphasises kindness and good treatment between spouses. Sensitive marital matters should be approached with mutual consideration rather than pressure or humiliation.
Practical Guidance
What you can consider
Discuss the issue during a calm period, identify the underlying concerns and consider qualified counselling or mediation if the couple cannot resolve it privately.
