How we should live our lives within our families can best be learned by following the example of the prophet (s.a.w.s.).
‘From the manners of the Prophet [?] was that he would have beautiful companionship and would always be joyful, he would be playful with his family and treat them affectionately, he would be generous in spending on them, he would make his wives laugh, he would even run a race with ‘Aeysha the mother of the believers to show love towards her.’ [Tafseer Ibn Katheer, (1/466)]
