Islam and Family Stability
Islam warns against following whims and desires as well as surrendering to emotions, which overwhelm and change. A husband may feel aversion towards his wife, but if he is patient, this feeling will soon change.
Therefore, it is not acceptable that a husband divorces his wife because of these temporary feelings of aversion. God says:
{And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good} (An-Nisa 4: 18)
In a Hadith, the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
No believing man should hate his believing wife. If he dislikes some of her characteristics, he would surely like another. [Muslim]
This means that a husband could hate one of his wife's characteristics while he is heedless of her other good ones...
Even if love is missing in marital life, there is still scope for cooperation, solidarity and the fear of blame for divorce which distresses the wife, the children and the husband himself in many cases.
