It's good to have differences of opinion
if you know how to handle them, if you
know how to go about it. Not arguing and
not fighting, but discussing the
differences. And if one keeps one savvy
and one controls one's emotions and for
Shalom one doesn't get into a situation
of anger, husband and wives, it is a
very healthy thing when there are
differences because differences bring
things much sharper. It clarifies
issues. We go through this cleansing
process and then the two halves stick
and now there's one. Okay, we still
carry a lot of background. You know, the
early years of a person, there's a lot
of things that are formative in his
personality. And these issues that the
couple start to go through, but when a
couple knows, once I went under the
chuppah, he's for me and I'm for him.
There's potential here. So there might
be difficulties, there might be other
factors which are disturbing the Shalom
Bayit, but once you know that it's the
potential is there, you'll work on it.
Keeping marriage happy and alive and
vibrant and exciting and enjoyable
takes work.
