The relationship between husband and wife essentially sets the example for how all members of a family relate to each other. It is the orbit, the pillar of the family. The way a married couple lives has a great influence on their children. The growth of children hinges on a continuous improvement in the husband-wife relationship. Having happy children is the ultimate victory for parents.
