Put Allah SWT between yourself and every one of your relationships. Make it a triangle even. For every action or word, refer it to Allah first. It’ll make our relationships that much more beautiful. We tend to forget about the barakah that comes from that. And if Allah isn’t between ourselves and all of our loved ones, speaking and acting for His sake, then what’ll happen when we run into unexpected emotions? How cheap and how easy is it to discard a relationship then? And the other extreme, how vain and abusive could things turn? Putting Allah before our loved ones will make us selfless and not only will it increase the love, it increases the care and the concern and makes things real.
