Amin Ahsan Islahi (may Allah have mercy on him) writes:
"As long as a man remains deprived of a wife, he remains somewhat of a nomad, and many of his abilities remain suppressed and constricted. Similarly, as long as a woman remains deprived of a husband, her status is like that of a vine which, due to a lack of support, is deprived of spreading, blossoming, and bearing fruit. But when the woman finds a husband and the man attains the companionship of a wife, the abilities of both flourish. And when they struggle together in the field of life, Allah Almighty grants blessings in their struggle, and their circumstances completely change!"
[Tadabbur-e-Quran 5/400]
