In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Narrated Jabir [radiyallaahu-anhu] that Allaah’s Messenger [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said, “Iblis places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments [for creating dissension]; the nearer to him in rank are those who are most notorious in creating dissension. One of them comes and says, ‘I did so and so’. And he says, ‘You have done nothing’. Then one amongst them comes and says, ‘I did not spare so and so until I sowed the seed of discord between a husband and a wife’. The Satan goes near him and says, ‘You have done well’. A’mash said, ‘He then embraces him’”. [Saheeh Muslim. Number:2813]
And because of the fact that this bond [between husband and wife] is from the most beloved affairs to Allaah and His Messenger, it is from the most hated affairs to the enemy of Allaah [i.e. shaytaan]. Therefore he hastens to split two people who love another for the sake of Allaah. [Source: Rawdatul Muhibbeen. Page:188]

Finally, if you are a young man or woman, then please – for the sake of Allaah – neither involve anyone in your marriage affairs nor seek advice from youth; rather return to the wise and knowledgeable elders in the community – those who rectify affairs with wisdom and are far removed from hastiness. Some of us have been married for twenty-five years and our parents are still married after nearly five decades, and the affair always improves when one returns to the authentic Sunnah during hardships and disagreements. Any hardship we face at the moment is from the Qadr of Allaah, therefore we remind ourselves of that which is in the following link:
We ask Allaah to keep shaytaan away from all our affairs and increase the love between us and our families Aameen.
