RESPECT ALL
[62b bottom] R’ Akiva had 12 thousand pairs of disciples extending from Geva until Antiparis and they all died during one period (from Pesach to Shavuous) because they did not treat each other with respect.

Prac-T-cal Tidbits#1: Respect is so important that even the leading Torah scholars, who learned under rabbi akiva, died because of not having enough of it. We should ensure to have proper respect for all those around us to merit a good long life Bezras Hashem (G-d willing).

WIFELY BLESSINGS

[62b bottom] Gemarah: With a wife, there is happiness, goodness, blessings, and peace.

Prac-T-cal Tidbits#2: A wife truly brings a happy life. We should make sure we are always happy and grateful to our spouses for enhancing our lives, as well as to Hashem for bringing us together with our Ezer Kneggdos (alongside/opposite ourselves). Anytime we may get upset or have any negative emotions towards our spouses, we should remember this lesson: replace feelings of anger with awe, humility, and appreciation.
