This Hadīth means that a man should not hate or be hostile towards his wife for disliking any of her characteristics, since he will surely find other characteristics to like. One needs to be fair and thus deal with others appropriately. Fairness entails that one weighs good and bad things, focuses on whichever more frequent and more effective, and behaves accordingly.
