All praise is due only to Allaah. We laud Him and beseech His

Never try to straighten her by force
There are things which may be a flaw in men and not in women 
and vice versa. Therefore you should not treat women with 
disdain when they do something which you may deem 
inappropriate. This is the very nature of a rib that it appears 
bent and if this irks you and you try to straighten it, it will 
break. 
Some habits of hers are laudable
Regarding this there is a Hadith from Hadhrat Abu Hurairah 
(radhiallahu anhu), 
“It has been reported from Abu Hurairah 
(radhiallahu anhu) who said, ‘Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi 
wasallam) said, ‘A believing man should not detest a believing 
woman (his wife). If he dislikes one trait of hers, there is 
(surely) another with which he is happy.”
[Saheeh Muslim, 
Kitaabur Ridaa’]

Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is teaching us a lesson that 
when two human beings live together then there is surely to be 
a conflict, where the one may find some things dislikeable in 
the other. In such circumstances he should reflect on the good 
qualities of his partner. It is a sign of ungratefulness that 
because of one or two dislikeable traits in the wife, the man 
finds reason to complain endlessly. He should keep the words 
of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in mind. 
Everything has a mixture of good and bad
There is nothing in this world which does not have some good 
quality and some evil. Allaah Ta`ala has created everything in 
this world with a mixture of good and bad. There is not a thing 
which is purely good or purely evil. A person may be a kaafir, 
mushrik or an evil person, but if one searches in him, one is 
bound to find some good or the other. 
An English saying
There is an apt English saying wherein there is much lesson. 
Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) has said that a word of 
wisdom is the lost thing of a believer. We should not regard 
everything the kuffaar say as taboo. Something which they 
mention does have some merit therein. Anyway, there is an 
English saying that even a watch which has stopped working, 
tells the truth twice a day. For example, if we assume that a 
watch has stopped working at 12 o’clock. So this watch will not 
show the correct time the entire day, however there will be 
twice during the day and night, i.e. at 12 o’clock midday and 12 
o’clock midnight, when the watch will be showing the correct 
time.
