Assalaamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuhu
JazaakAllah Khair Sister Muslimah for that explanation, which totally makes sense, and I believe can be confirmed with this Aaya from Surah Al-Ahzab of the Glorious Qur'an:
"You (O Muhammad SAW) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive whom you will. And whomsoever you desire of those whom you have set aside (her turn temporarily), it is no sin on you (to receive her again), that is better; that they may be comforted and not grieved, and may all be pleased with what you give them. Allah knows what is in your hearts. And Allah is Ever All Knowing, Most Forbearing." [Qur'an 33:51]
...And Allah know best.
