Ralph Wigs Continues Its End-Of Year City-Wide Tour Sale
As women, we often are so busy caring for others that we neglect ourselves. So we sometimes forget that it may be time for a new look, a refreshing update, a chic makeover. It’s time to consider a Ralph.
Before Hashem created Chava, Hashem said, “It is not good for man to be alone. I will make for him an ezer k’negdo—a helpmate opposite him.”
Blessed are You, Hashem,
In You, mercy is found;
You free the captive
You release the bound.
Recap: The weather report is mild for the whole Atlantic coast, so Ilan is sure his kallah will have an easy train ride. On Sunday morning, March 15, the cows and horses are skittery. It starts to rain hard. Later, the rain changes to sleet and snow and howling wind. Ilan is worried about his kallah’s trip.
Hashem wants marriage to work, so He created many tools that build true love. These tools need to be used, regularly and intentionally, to keep building the connection. We’ve discussed infatuation; it’s easy, almost reflexive. It helps start things off, but once it evaporates it’s gone. Romance is another tool that a couple needs to use throughout their marriage to keep rejuvenating the connection. Later, we’ll discuss desire, physical attraction, and intimacy—all powerful forces that bring a husband and wife closer. But again, they are tools, not ends in themselves. The goal is a deep connection and attachment—love.
