The world is but an enjoyment and the best of worldly enjoyments is a righteous woman
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The world is but an enjoyment and the best of worldly enjoyments is a righteous woman."
«الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ، وَخَيْرُ مَتَاعِ الدُّنْيَا الْمَرْأَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ».
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that worldly life and what it contains is but a thing enjoyed for a while and then comes to an end and that the best worldly enjoyment is the righteous wife: when her husband looks at her, she pleases him; if he asks her for something, she obeys him; and when he is away from her, she safeguards him regarding herself and his wealth.
...:
It is permissible to enjoy worldly good things Allah has made lawful for His servants without excess or pride.
A man is encouraged to choose a righteous wife, for she helps him in obeying his Lord.
The best worldly enjoyments are those used in obeying Allah or they are helpful in this regard.
