The long kiss you gave your husband after having him clean one dish may be forgotten once he sees your bringing more dishes for him to clean; KISS HIM ANYWAY.

Dressing up, smelling good, and looking lovely especially for your husband after dinner may only result in him wanting to go over to Mustafa’s house to watch the football game; DRESS FOR HIM ANYWAY.

You see, on the day of judgement, we answer only to ALLAH for our own actions. No one else’s but our own. So even if all the good you do for your spouse goes unnoticed, rest assured that Allah sees your efforts and knows your heart. So, for the sake of Allah, DO GOOD ANYWAY!!
