The answer

A husband must combine filial piety towards his parents with good companionship towards his wife and care for his children. He should not treat his parents well to the detriment of his wife and children. He is permitted to travel with his parents for a permissible purpose as long as he does not absent himself for more than six months. However, if there is no significant need for his travel, it is preferable for him to stay with his wife and children. The wife should be patient with her husband and maintain good companionship, and not allow his preoccupation with his parents to be a cause for discord. The affection between spouses is sustained through patience and overlooking faults. A husband's filial piety towards his parents is a righteous deed that brings blessings in this world and the hereafter.
