He said to his wife: Today will be your divorce
Question There was an argument between a wife and her husband, and the husband said to her: “Today will be your divorce, today you want me to divorce you, today I want to divorce you, today you will be divorced.” But she is not certain about the last phrase, “Today you will be divorced” –…

Praise be to Allah.
What we understand from his words is that they were a
threat of divorce, but not actually issuing a divorce. Because the husband
made up with his wife and did not divorce after that, no divorce actually
occurred.
We advise the husband to avoid using the words of divorce
(talaaq), because divorce is not prescribed as an outlet for anger, and
repeatedly using such words destroys trust between the spouses and exposes
the family to destruction.
We ask Allah to set the affairs of all of us straight.
And Allah knows best.
