Don't convert people to any religion. Obey the Humanity Code

There is no need to try to convert somebody into Islam (or any religion for that matter).
People are best they way they are, that's their path. You might want to help them with home work, and help them understand the world better, or if they're going to spend time with you, you might want to guide them what you are, and how you want to be treated. Ofcourse, they'll want the treatment back.
I recently saw a question about, how to convert "my dearest" to Islam?
There is no need at all to convert anybody.
Let's not forget that even the Prophet of Islam was said to be "only the one who reminds". So if he is "only" that, and we too become those who remind, so what does that make him? A Book bringer? No, he is the one who reminds. All other people, including us, are here to obey the humanity-code, which aren't even the 10 ancient commands. It's a couple of those: Don't hurt anybody (killing is hurting too, and it does a lot of hurting to the family of the dead, and stealing from somebody hurts them), don't cheat anybody (that means don't cheat spouse, neighbour, customer, teacher, boss - because you're hurting them). Hurting is also done by getting a job with bribery, or doing things with bribery. Somebody else who "deserves" it more might have needed that job more than you, who cheated.

I can't think of more. Hurting and cheating, in most of their forms.
Sometimes, it is inevitable to hurt somebody some way. If we don't help somebody, and if we could, we are hurting them. Sometimes, we can do something without even knowing that other people would be hurt from that deed.

So bringing people to Islam brings nothing to nobody. Your dearest ones will be with you in your life the way they are now.
If you change them, they won’t be those whom you love, but some changed people. If you try to change them, you won’t be what you are to them. You’re going to be somebody else to them.
Don’t lose your relationship with those whom you love. You already love them, so that’s Islam for all of you.
If you - as a Muslim - love them, that means they are good people. But if they’re some sort of criminals and bad people, like killers and so on, but you love them, then change yourself.
Them being Muslims will bring absolutely nothing to any of you. Only a chance that some of them might run into a scripture that tells them how music is wrong. And they’ll turn to be boring.

Also, you could be hurting them if you act in order to convert them. They'll know that you feel how those whom you love are not perfect enough for you.

It is never OK to beat the wife, regardless of what hadiths say

It is never OK to beat the wife. The meaning of verse 34 chapter 3 multiple ideas that are wrong. First, let's see the quote of the translation which is mostly accepted, and the link provided has multiple translations into all the languages once can imagine.  "Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they/men spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them, guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand." God describes the righteous woman as devoutly obedient to her husband, while a husband doesn't require such obedience to be righteous. Here, a man is righteous by default, doesn't need the special war...

Walking outside of religion

Getting more information about the religious rules will make you somebody who will conduct according to those rules. Unfortunately, this isn't the case when one learns about some other rules that aren't popular enough to be thought to children. Only as adults do we encounter some religious rules, that really don't have any purpose or use today, so no wonder how we can live without it. But it leaves out the whole picture.
