In these verses, love and mercy have been expressed after tranquility and living together in peace which is the best form of life. Everyone is seeking a peaceful life. In fact, love and mercy constitute the glue and cement for the structure of the human society. There are some differences between love and mercy. 1 - Love is the initial motivation for establishing a relationship.
However, at the end of life one or the other one gets weak, and mercy is needed. 2 - Love exists between the adults who can serve each other. However, children need mercy to grow up. 3 - Love is usually a mutual feeling, while mercy is unilateral and mixed with self-sacrifice.[^4] When the life of a couple is filled with tranquility, is based on love, and is accompanied by mercy, it is firmly established.

Marriage is like the first level of social life. Through marriage, one can study and learn about the rights. There are two kinds of rights established between a couple: legal rights and moral rights. The legal rights include the right that the husband must feed and clothe his wife and provide for her shelter. They also include the right that the woman should obey her husband.
These rights are the fundamentals of mutual life, and are needed in order to provide for life - just like the foundation and the structure of a building. However, moral rights are those which both the husband and the wife are morally bound to adhere to. Should they not adhere to these rights, there is no legal obligation for them to do so. However, the beauty and pleasure of life is dependent upon performing these duties. Acts like compliance, friendship and love fall in this group.
One can consider these rights as the decorations of life such as painting and fine plaster work. “The law of creation has made men and women in need of each other in order to better unite men and women together, and strengthen the family which is the main basis for human prosperity.
