Young men find great support from charities which facilitate marriage and provide them with loans, housing and even mass wedding events. Some foundations even find their partners for them. Sadly not long after the wedding, the arguments begin and instead of living happily ever after, the couple find themselves in courts filing divorce papers. This is just the beginning of some very bitter divorce proceedings. Only those who understand the ups and downs of marital life can enjoy it; those who do not will face problems and their marriage can end up in divorce. If a wife has a lot of free time, she will start looking for faults in her husband and compare her life with that of her friends. Therefore, wives should occupy themselves with college or work and should understand their rights. If a husband works for long hours while his wife sits at home waiting for him all day to come back and talk, both spouses will have problems. The husband who has been working for long hours returns home to have dinner and sleep when his wife wants to sit talk. Some husbands do not satisfy their wives emotionally. They fail to understand that women love it when their husbands pamper them and flatter their way of cooking, tidying up the house and other things. For a marriage to work, husbands and wives should go out every now and then to change the routine of their daily life. There are several factors which marital dispute centers face when attempting to solve problems between spouses. Some of these relate to the refusal of either spouse to make concessions, the obstinacy of husbands or wives, the misunderstanding of each other's psychological state and mutual negligence. Educational supervisor Ibtehaj said unfortunately these marital disputes are very widespread. “Dialogue between spouses is important. Without it, families become disintegrated,” she said. She has called for more programs to raise awareness about these disputes and the rights and duties of husbands and wives. Dr. Abdullah Al-Nahsi is an academic consultant at King Saud University. He believes respecting rights is very important and parents should educate their sons and daughters about the duties of husbands and wives. “Educational institutions have an important role to play as well and can instill true Islamic and social concepts in the minds of students and focus on the importance of families and how to protect them against any factors that lead to disintegration,” he said. Dr. Al-Nashi regretted the fact that today's curricula do not cover these topics due to cultural restrictions or traditions.
