The Power of Love

Never before had Moshe really felt how much Rachel meant to him. For the first time in his marriage, Moshe was aware of how much he truly loved and cared about Rachel and how great was his need to be connected to her no matter what.  This is one of my favorite articles. You can read it here.

The Ultimate Marriage

Peace in the home ranks first in importance when it comes to serving Hashem. Marital peace is the primary receptacle of Divine Illumination in the world. The happier the marriage, the more the couple actually feels Hashem's presence in their midst.  Anyone who faithfully follows our guidelines for marriage is guaranteed to taste the sweetness of true marital bliss.

Carry this prayer by Rabbi Arush with you and read it whenever you need inspiration. Men or women can use this: 

Master of the Universe, have mercy on my wife/husband, on my children, on me, and on all those who are dependent on me.  Let me understand that my happiness and success depends on my wife's/husband's happiness, namely, that she/he feels that she's/he's the most important part of my life.  Master of the Universe, have mercy on me and instill in my heart an abundance of love for my wife/husband, a love that is greater than anything in the world. Have mercy on me so that my heart won't tempt me in any way whatsoever. Help me to successfully withstand all the trials and tests that come my way, and that I will always place my wife/husband and her/his needs, aspirations, and desires above everything else.  Let me internalize the knowledge that this is Your desire in Your Divine wisdom. Let my wife/husband feel that she's/he's truly the most important part of my life.

Every Blessing,

Emuna: The Root of True Love

Thought for the Day

True love is a passion to give to the one you love before giving to yourself; it is a concern with the other's welfare that transcends your concern for yourself; it is a belief rooted in emuna that through nullification of yourself to your partner you are fulfilling the main reason that you were brought into the world. 

Have a great day!

Marital Guidance

There are extreme fundamental differences between a man and a woman. Few people appreciate how extreme these differences are. A man's way of thinking and his emotional functioning is different than a woman's. They see the world in different ways, react differently to situations, and have different priorities and values. Without understanding what make each other tick, they are bound to make big mistakes without even understanding what they are doing wrong.

If people would realize the tremendous difference between the spiritual and mental make-up of men and of women, they would certainly seek a capable person that could teach them how to successfully live together.

Even great rabbis with vast knowledge in different branches of the Torah sometimes don't understand why they should need marital guidance, especially when those giving the guidance may be far less learned than they are in other areas of Torah knowledge.

Unlocking Your Real Power

We agree with psychologists that say a vision and persistence are essential for achieving mastery in anything. But if a person tries and tries and still doesn't "succeed" - then what?

This video is about your real power - where it is - and how to access it fast. I hope you enjoy it!

 

Blessings for a great week!,

Piercing The Heavens

Do you ever feel like you're about to burst? The prophet Jeremiah said: " Arise, cry out! Pour out your heart like water before G-d." This is the only path to true Salvation. 

 

Rivka became a psychotherapist in the hope of curing herself from her lifelong battle with low self-esteem. Now in her sixties, she doubts that the teachings of Rav Arush can still help her. See how I answered Rivka in this week's parsha newsletter.  

With Blessings for an extraordinary family Shabbos,
