How to Maintain Marital Harmony - Rabbi Zamir Cohen in English (AI)

in the pursuit of peace and Harmony at home so much can be achieved simply by learning to compromise yet many couples end up divorcing in most cases if we're being honest divorce isn't necessary what is needed is the ability to let go too often each partner stands firm in their ego neither is willing to compromise the arguments escalate the tones get harsher and eventually this leads to emotional distance and sometimes even divorce but what if one person were to take a step back and say to themselves yes I'm right and I know it but I'll let it go a man once came to Rabbi Steinman saying he couldn't bear his marriage anymore and wanted a divorce but he told the rabbi give me three pieces of advice strong ones and I'll promise to try them before I move forward with a divorce the rabbi responded but the first piece of advice is to let go the second is to let go and the third is to let go that's it just let go take for example a man who is very neat and organized but his wife grew up in a home where tidiness wasn't a priority he comes home and sees a sink full of dishes a pile of laundry and he gets angry every time he fights with his wife asking why aren't you organized and she replies I'm tired there are kids work so much to do I've seen couples get into terrible conflicts over things like this but imagine if the husband tells himself I'll let it go it's okay there's a pile of dishes I'll accept it on the other hand imagine the wife knows that her husband gets particularly upset by dirty dishes in the sink it drives him crazy she might decide I can't do everything in a day but since this bothers him more than other things I'll adjust my priorities perhaps she prefers folding laundry overd dooing dishes but since laundry doesn't bother him and dishes do she chooses to make that change when both Partners take steps toward each other Harmony at home becomes achievable along with a sense of inner peace when both sides make adjustments not only do they create a natural environment for peace but they also Merit Divine assistance receiving help from above to strengthen their relationship even further we grow up in different homes with different habits but when each partner decides to grow toward the other it builds not only a better marriage but a stronger foundation for a life of shared understanding and mutual respect [Music]
