The Behavioral Methods of Family Education for Spouses from the Perspective of the Quran

The family is the smallest and most fundamental social unit, the well-being of which contributes to the well-being of society as a whole. Therefore, one of the important topics addressed in the Quran is family education. The aim of this research is to examine the perspective of the Quran and its interpretive narrations to find behavioral methods of family education in the relationship between husband and wife. Through these educational methods, spouses guide their family towards happiness and perfection, avoiding conflicts, deviations, and harms. The current research method is descriptive-analytical and based on content analysis. In its execution, principles, methods, and interdisciplinary thematic interpretation guidelines have been utilized. The research results indicate that behavioral methods of family education in the relationship between husband and wife, according to the Quran, can be divided into two categories: constructive methods (methods primarily used to establish or reinforce desirable and commendable qualities and behaviors) such as "exemplary/role-model method" and "commanding the good and forbidding evil", and corrective methods (methods used to eliminate or reduce undesirable behavior or traits, whether outwardly or inwardly) such as "tolerance method" and "deprivation method", extracted from the verses of the Quran.
