A king without a queen, the Zohar says, is neither great nor a king. For it is the woman who empowers the man to conquer.

And it is the man who empowers the woman
to penetrate and nurture.

And then the man will learn from this woman
that he, too, can reach within others and provide nurture.

And the woman will learn that she, too, can conquer.

This So Perfectly Describes My Marriage
I have rarely found words that so perfectly describe my life before and after my marriage. My husband is a man's man - respected by all who know him, strong, courageous, powerful. But the father of three daughters whom he had a hard time being tender with. I am a college-educated woman who is called sensitive, caring and nurturing but was never quite able to find the courage in myself to use the abilities and gifts G-d had equipped me with in the strength required to make more than a marginal difference until my husband and I became one. Now he is transforming and learning to tenderly nuture his daughters' hearts instead overpower them. And I am learning to befriend the strength that G-d has gifted me and let if flow into my gifts instead of smother it under fear of being "too masculine" or "overbearing". This is not an old-fashioned idea, this is the essence of completion. We didn't look for each other. We were revealed to each other right in synagogue after 4 years.

Rabbi, I honestly have given much thought to the subject matter. Perhaps too much so my expectations are quite high, making a tough situation even harder. What you are saying is true, no doubt about it. In these times where most of my energy is to stay above water in the material realm as well as performing my religious duties time to look and find the right "Queen" is a difficult task. Help......anybody?

kings and queens
This sounds very nice and probably points to the equality in the king-queen united relationship. The problem i have is that the explanation is old school. I do not think that the writer's conceptual words would be widely accepted at large in today's society. We are or should be beyond the need for bra burning.

The Queen
The King needs the Queen, because there is not one godess,but the Queen doesn't need the King because there is one G-d.
