Marriage

"Marriage is not just an ordinary conception. It is not just a civil commitment, or a utilitarian, mundane partnership. It is an existential commitment, a personalistic covenant. The souls of two lonely people join. Two strangers decide to unite destinies, to share in the same fate, to keep together, suffer together, rejoice together, travel together and pay the toll of the road jointly. In order to take on such an all-inclusive, all-encompassing commitment, one cannot trust anybody. One must know to whom he dedicates his life intimately and well."


Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, The Rav Thinking Aloud on the Parsha, Sefer Bamidbar, pp. 86-87.
