Happy Husband and Wife

19th century Ottoman scholar Bediuzzaman writes:
Happy the husband who sees the wife's firm religion and follows her,
and himself becomes pious in order not to losehis companion of eternal
life.
Happy the wife who sees her husband's firmness inreligion and becomes
pious so as not to lose her eternal friend.
Alas for the man who becomes dissolute, whichwill lose him for ever
thatrighteous woman.
Alas for the woman who does not follow her pioushusband and loses her
eternal blessed friend.
And a thousand woes on the unhappy husband and wife who imitate each
other in sin and vice, helping one another to enter Hell -fire!
