​The Meaning of Marriage in the Torah

OKTOBER 06, 2018


​In this week's Parasha Bereishit God creates Adam. Adam was created as the union of female and male. Then s/he was separated into man and woman, two individuals with different characteristics, energies, and life purposes. Man alone or woman alone constitutes only half of that unit. But they are the perfect complement to each other. Man and women united are ONE again.

The purpose for the creation of marriage is stated in five words: "lo tov he-yot ha-adam le'vado"  - "It is not good for man to be alone." Neither to be physically alone, nor to be mentally lonely. We are supposed to have a partner by our side to master this life. 

The reunification of man and woman, male and female, happens at a wedding, as a spiritual union of two souls. In marriage, the partners complete and fulfill themselves and each other. Finding your soulmate means completing and ennobling your existence.
