Flirtation

A sure way to keep romance in marriage is to flirt (only) with your spouse.

Many successful marriages have maintained a youthful demeanor in their marriages by adopting special names for each other and secret communication styles.

Freedom:

Marriage in Islam is a partnership and not bondage or slavery. To consider the wife one’s property is alien to Islamic concept of husband and wife role. The team spirit is enhanced and not curtailed when members of the team are free to be themselves. Freedom in the common western sense is to be free to do as one pleases or to be selfish. On the contrary, to allow freedom to one’s spouse is to be considerate of their needs and to recognize their limitations.
