PROPER SUPPORT

[47b bottom] Rava: The Braisa’s author maintains that a husband’s obligation to support his wife monetarily is Biblical in nature (in addition to providing clothing and intimacy).

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: Many times we get too wrapped up in our own selfish pursuits and forget how very basic to marriage the above three requirements are. Some people would rather their wives work all day in addition to doing all the housework and childrearing. The Kesuvah (marriage contract) teaches us the opposite. Men should not complain about adorning their women with beautiful clothing and jewelry. We should always be happy to have the opportunities to treat our spouses with love and greet them with smiles.
