It is like a partnership, where if each one does his job, everyone is happy, as it is written, “which God has created to do,” for there is nothing without labor.

Hence, the husband toils and brings money, and his wife takes the money and toils with it, buying groceries and cooking, and seeing that the food is tasty, and then both are happy.

If the woman cooks well, her husband will have good appetite and will then have strength to go to work and bring in money.

Likewise, if the feet walk and the hands buy and give the food to the brain, the brain has the strength to think (Rabash, Notes 503, Partnership).

That is a simple and very correct explanation of marital relationships. The partnership starts from the beginning, from the basics of our lives, and extends to high and lofty matters.

If a married couple wants to reach a higher quality of connection between them, it will lead them to spiritual work.

Question: Do they need to have in mind that they are striving for something more spiritual?

Answer: Of course, certainly! They must coordinate this with each other and understand that they may need to sacrifice something to reach a spiritual goal. Then they will attain a higher connection than the ordinary connection between husband and wife.

To have a spiritual connection, they must understand what they can achieve with its help, whether they are ready for it, and where it will lead them.

Comment: It sounds like some serious sacrifices are required here.

My Response: It does not require sacrifices, but it does require effort.
