بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 751/D-140/File D=1434)
Sometime a man experiences such tough situation in which instead of adopting any method it is more useful to have patience resort to dua. Apparently it seems that you have the option of patience and dua along with making him understanding. This is the only way out. Hence you should try to make him understand through his reliable and close friends along with supplicating Allah. Offer two rakah salatul hajah and supplicate wholeheartedly. Also recite the following dua extensively:
يا مقلب القلوب صرف قلوبنا على طاعتك .
If possible, practice the Amal which is mentioned therein the book Bahishti Zewar Vol. 9 for love between spouses.
Allah knows Best!
Darul Ifta,
Darul Uloom Deoband
