Marriage brings peace in mind and there grows love between the couple. This peace of mind is necessary for divine service.

Allah says: He created you from a single person and created his mate from him, so that he may find consolation in her. Sayyadina Ali RA said: Give peace to mind as it becomes blind when it becomes disturbed. There is a Hadith that states: "there are three special times for a wise man; he speaks secretly with his lord at one time, he takes accounts of his actions at another time and he remains busy with his food and drink at another time."

In another narration, a wise man in not desirous expect of three matters: "to earn the livelihood of the next world, to earn the livelihood of this world and to taste lawful things."

The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "There is effort in every action and there is calmness in every effort. He who takes calmness goes towards my Sunnah and guidance." The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "Three things are dear to me among your earthly matter – scent, women and prayer – the latter is the doll of my eyes." This comfort is necessary for peace of mind.
