♥::..Love her & be patient with her even when she nags you.::♥

It is reported that a man came to 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab (radhiAllahu
anhu) to complain about his wife's ill-temper. While he was waiting
for 'Umar to come out of his house, he heard 'Umar's wife scolding him
and 'Umar quietly listening to her, andnot answering her back.
The man turned around and started walking away, muttering to himself:
"If that is the case with 'Umar,the leader of the believers, who is
famous for his uprighteness and toughness, then what about poor me?!"
At that moment, 'Umar came out of his house and saw the man walking
away. He called him and said, "What is it you want of me, O man?"
The man replied: "O leader of the believers, I came to complain to you
about my wife's bad-temper and how she nags me. Then I heard your wife
doing the same to you, so I turned around, muttering to myself, 'If
that is the situation of the leader of the believers, then what about
me?'"
'Umar replied, "O my brother, I bear with her because of her rights
over me. She cooks my food, bakes my bread, washes my clothes,
breast-feeds my child...and yet none of these are her duty;* and then
she is a comfort to myheart and keeps me away from forbidden deeds.
Consequently, I bear with her."
The man said, "It is the same with me, O leader of the believers."
'Umar said:"Then, O my brother, be patient with her, indeed this life
is short.
(Adh-Dhahabi, Al-Kabâ'ir 194)
This hadith about 'Umar is a beautiful example of the lofty status
that Islam has given women. The Ameer ul Mu'mineen [Commander of the
Believers] himself used to listen patiently while his wife scolded him
and he instructed his followers to likewise be patient and grateful
for all the favours their wives gave them/
