Invest Feelings in Relationships

294.4Question: According to The Zohar, I must constantly strive to earn my wife’s favor. On the other hand, it says that the husband (baal) is the master (another meaning of “baal“). So in what sense is he the master? This is a very interesting system.

Answer: This system dates back to ancient times, has gone through all stages of human development, and still, our nature somehow breaks through.

Question: Help me understand from the perspective of Kabbalah: in what way is a man truly the master, and in what way is he not?

Answer: If a man properly fulfills his functions, the wife, no matter how you look at it, depends on him. If he thinks about how to do something pleasant for her, something she needs, and cares for her, she will feel that she cannot do without him. In this way, she becomes dependent on her husband.

Question: What other pleasant things can a man do for his wife besides lifting her spirits, giving gifts, or flowers?

Answer: Women do not need much. The man needs to do just the minimum, but in a way that shows he is putting his feelings into it.

Question: Can you describe the specific functions of a man? What do they entail?

Answer: I do not think this requires much definition or explanation. If you focus on making your wife feel good, especially by uplifting her mood, you will notice how your life changes.
