Ever since being with him, I am struggling to be on time with things, and things are always\u00a0getting\u00a0delayed. There are many things I must do with him, like going for shopping to buy necessities, but he will delay and we will be late by up to 2 hours..\u00a0which\u00a0I have to suffer for later. He has had a direct impact on my life, and even my\u00a0salaah\u00a0is prayed\u00a0toward the end of the prayer time now as I facilitate him and try not to hurt his feelings by being blunt and then just leaving him.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0 not\u00a0getting anything done,\u00a0 and my husband delays me and then complains later about why I haven\u2019t done things yet. I am really suffering, and finding it hard to keep my patience with his time problem, and I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0know what to do. Please advise me on this\u00a0Shaykh,\u00a0jazaak-Allahukhair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>As-<\/strong><strong>sal\u0101mu<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u2018<\/strong><strong>alaykum<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>wa-rahmatull\u0101hi<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>wa-barak\u0101tuh<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Respected sister in Islam,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We understand the discomfort of wasting time and delay for\u00a0a person meticulous with time like yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whilst marriage is a means of our comfort, it also presents many difficult challenges.

It is obvious that life before marriage is different from life after marriage. The most important thing in a marriage is to consider feelings and temperaments of\u00a0one\u2019s\u00a0spouse\u00a0and make adjustments accordingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While understanding your sensitivity about time, you may overcome your discomfort by making an intention to be with your husband and tolerating him for the pleasure of Allah\u00a0Ta\u2019ala.

He enjoys your company. He is relaxed with you being around him.

It is possible he will consider your feelings and adjust accordingly. The Quran and Sunnah both emphasize the importance of time in the life of a Muslim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also allow for time to take its course in making such adjustments.
