The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's guidance to married women: đ°đŊââī¸â¤ī¸đ¤ĩđŊââī¸đ
âDo not think of any men except your husband and find peace with him. If you do otherwise you will place yourself in a strained condition. Now that you have agreed to live with your husband, why should you be constantly noticing other men? Why should you compare him with others? What do you achieve by looking at other men except putting yourself in a permanently miserable state and cause mental anguish for yourself? Do not make compliments for other men. Do not think of any man other than your husband. Do not think to yourself: "I wish I had married so and so;" "I wish my husband looked like...;" "I wish my husband's job was...;" "I wish...," "I wish..." "I wish..." Why should you imprison yourself with these thoughts? Why should you upset the foundations of your marriage?
If any of those wishes had come true, how would you know that you would have been more satisfied? Are you sure that the wives of those so-called "faultless" men are satisfied with them? If your husband suspects that you show interest in other men, he would be disheartened and would lose interest in you. You must not cut jokes with other men or keep company with them. Men are so sensitive that they cannot even tolerate their wives to show an interest in a picture of another man.â
