It’s generally a bad idea to speak about any aspect of your marriage publicly. If you tell others only about the positive aspects of your relationship, you invite envy onto yourself.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ الْعَيْنُ حَقٌّ وَلَوْ كَانَ شَىْءٌ سَابَقَ الْقَدَرَ سَبَقَتْهُ الْعَيْنُ وَإِذَا اسْتُغْسِلْتُمْ فَاغْسِلُوا ‏”‏ ‏.‏

The Prophet ﷺ said, “The evil eye is real. If anything could precede the divine decree, it would be preceded by the evil eye. When you are asked to perform a ritual bath, then do so.”

Sahih Muslim 2188

When we show off and publicly display the good aspects of our lives, it can often frustrate those who are going through a difficult time, and in some cases cause envy, which is related to the evil eye. By talking exclusively about positive aspects of your marriage, you also run the risk of painting an unrealistic picture of married life which can make others feel that there is something wrong with their marriage.

On the other hand, when you complain about your marriage to friends or family, they may try to support you, but they may also end up taking your side or developing a negative view about your spouse. In attempting to support you, they may reinforce a negative view of your spouse in your mind, which can cause a vicious circle leading to divorce.

If the problems are really bad so that counseling is a must, it makes sense to follow the divine guidance to get representatives from both the family of the husband and wife, because that way the different perceptions of the situation will balance each other out and prevent a distorted image from forming. This is from the wisdom of the command:

وَإِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ شِقَاقَ بَیۡنِهِمَا فَٱبۡعَثُوا۟ حَكَمࣰا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِهِۦ وَحَكَمࣰا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِهَاۤ إِن یُرِیدَاۤ إِصۡلَـٰحࣰا یُوَفِّقِ ٱللَّهُ بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِیمًا خَبِیرࣰا

And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things.]

Praise Allah who revealed Islam as a mercy to us and from His generosity.
