134 ‘Many disagreements between husband and wife stem from lack of con fidence in each other. Wives complain that husbands do not tell the truth and husbands also complain that wives do not tell the truth habitually! In most of the cases they blame each other that the other had not been honest or is routinely dishonest. This affects the children and they too start telling lies. ’ Huzoor e Anwer added: ‘ It is also instructed that if you always speak the truth and try to continue to fulfil your responsibilities, in light of your efforts God Almighty will continue to reform you an d will enable you to follow virtues. God will overlook your sins and your mistakes and make your home resemblance of p aradise. ’ Huzoor e Anwer also said: ‘ It is also mentioned that they should stay firm on speaking the truth because this is the only way to establish mutual confidence and this alone helps in honouring mutual relationship. Speaking the truth alone also enables t he proper upbringing of children so that they become productive members of society. ’ (Address delivered to ladies on 21 August 2004 at Jalsa Salana Germany.
