In reply to Nazeer Mohamed. Very good advice, and may God, Jesus, bless you, as His great commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself (see Matthew 22:36-39) Thanks for teaching others how to speak respectfully to each other.

I have tried using xyz method and found u have people who will still be in denial or choose to be ignorant of your needs. Xyz does not work on a person who is selfish or has pride or ego bcos they have to accept your feelings or that there is some problem and try and change.

First, thank you for the great tips! I am going to try to integrate this approach into my marriage with my husband. I think it will solve many problems.

I very much agree with Omar’s comment above. This type of knowledge is so important for our communities. Too often we as humans (and especially spouses) get lured by Shaytan to resort to effortless, primitive ways of communicating – which include namecalling, fighting, yelling, or cutting a person off. We have a similar need for Muslims to become trained counselors so that affordable and convenient counseling is available for Muslims who are having communication problems. To the author of the article – I encourage you to publish a book about this topic.
