SEA SOULS

[2a middle] Rabbah bar Bar Chanah quoting R’ Yochanan: It is as’ difficult’ for the Omnipresent to match up a man and woman for marriage as it was to accomplish the splitting of the sea. As it is stated [Tehillim 68,7], “G-d gathers (separate) individuals to a house (together), and he releases prisoners at suitable moments (leaving Egypt and referencing the splitting of the sea, how they escaped).”

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We should always remember how miraculously wondrous our relationships and marriages are, as they are nothing short of being supernaturally ordained by G-d. We should never take our loved ones for granted and invest every effort to be true, loyal, committed, loving, caring, and selflessly giving partners. We should always give them our best and pour all our loving efforts and energies into our families. We must learn all lessons from Hashem and pattern our lives after His ‘behaviours.’
