What Makes a Marriage Tick?



Newlyweds think the question doesn't apply to them and never will: they are the first to discover marriage and the final authorities on it too.

Marriage
My husband isn't perfect neither am I. My G-d on the other up end is perfect, I love to hang out with Him more than my husband, this has been really good for this marriage down here, I would have given up a long time ago like 18 years. His Love, Mercy, Grace, Forgiveness, Joy, Longsuffering, Peace is what sustains me, I don't rely on my husband for that! I do live a good life, Thank You G-d!

Gd's Perfection
Gd is perfect but we're not, so we can't always understand why He acts as He does.

I think the author's intention was to explain that even though we don't always see Gd's perfection we accept Gd so-to-speak, 'as-is', meaning as we mere mortals perceive Him. And we practice this acceptance in order to maintain a healthy, on-going relationship/ 'marriage' with Him.
