Recently, I’ve noticed that he says he has prayed, although there is no sign that he has prayed so I wonder if he is lying about it to not have me wake him up (for fajr for instance). This also makes me mistrustful of the times that he has actually prayed, and I don’t think that is beneficial for our relationship. What advice do you have for me in this matter?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"His prayer is not your personal responsibility, and you will not be held accountable if he does not pray.\\n\\nWhat you can do is gently encourage him and remind him of how important the prayer is, not only for his relationship with Allah, but also for the health of your marriage. Let him know that having a husband who shares your commitment to the religion is deeply important to you.\\n\\nAsk him to commit to praying together whenever you're both at home. And if you're unsure whether he's prayed, give him the benefit of the doubt, assume he has prayed and that he's telling the truth. Most importantly, express to him sincerely how much this issue matters to you and how it affects your trust and connection in the relationship.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c23281e","tag":"Salah: Other","count":138},{"_id":"668d9fff0b76658b4c232b60","tag":"Worship: Other","count":54},{"_id":"668da0150b76658b4c232daf","tag":"Relationships: Spouse","count":42},{"_id":"66e21b840793086d7b66bba3","tag":"Lying","count":4}],"createdOn":"2025-05-30T16:16:25.736Z"}
