Marry the right person . This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery biithnillah ta'ala. :coolbro:
“What is obligatory upon the woman is that she seeks the pleasure of her husband, and avoids angering him, and does not refuse him whenever he wants her. The woman must also know that she is like a slave to her husband, so she should not do anything affecting herself or her husband’s wealth except with his permission. She should give precedence to his rights over her rights, and the rights of his reletives over the rights over reletives, and she should keep herself clean and be ready for him to enjoy her.
She shouls not boast at his expense of her beauty, nor rebuke him for any ugliness found in him. The woman must also be always modest and reserved in the presence of her husband, lower her eyes in front of him, obey his commands, remain silent when he speaks, keep far away from everything which angers him, avoid treachery in his absence, with regard to his bed, his welth and his house.
She should ensre that her aroma is pleasant, be accoustomed to using musk and perfume and cleaning her mouth with siwaak. She should be constant in adoring herself in his presence and not when he is absent. She should treat his family and reletives honourably, and consider something small from him as something great”
[A quote of Imam Adh-Dhahabee found in Mohammad Shoomaan's Sifaat Zawjatus Saalihah Pg 27]
How To Make Your Husband Happy
The following article is a summary of the book "How to Make Your Husband Happy" by Sheikh Mohammed Abdelhaleem Hamed.
1. Beautiful Reception
After returning from work, school, travel, or whatever has separated you,
Begin with a good greeting.
Meet him with a cheerful face
Beautify and perfume yourself
Start with good news and delay any bad news until he has rested
Receive him with loving and yearning sentences
Make hard efforts for excellence of the food & having it ready on time.
2. Beautify and Soften the Voice
For your husband only, it shouldn't be used in front of non-mahram men (men who can marry you if you were unmarried)
3. Smelling Good and Physical Beautification
Take good care of your body and fitness.
Put on nice and attractive clothes and perfumes.
Bathe regularly and, after the monthly period, remove any blood traces or bad smells.
Avoid that your husband observes you in dirty clothes or rough shape
Avoid prohibited types of ornamentation, e.g. tatoos
Use the types of perfumes, colors, and clothes that the husband likes
Change hair style, perfumes, etc. from time to time However with these things you should avoid excessiveness and, of course only act as such in front of mahrem men and women.

6. Indifference to Worldly Things
You should not consider this world as your hope and interest.

7. Appreciation
By the saying of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), the majority of people in Hell were women because they were ungrateful and deny the good done to them.

If he was angry because of external reasons then keep silent until his anger goes.
Find excuses for him, e.g. tired, problems at work, someone insulted him
Do not ask many questions and insist on knowing what happened e.g. 1) You should tell me what happened! 2) I must know what made you so angry! 3) You are hiding something, and I have the right to know!

Protect yourself from any prohibited relations
Keep the secrets of the family, particularly intercourse and things that the husbands don't like other people to know.
