According to Jewish mysticism, the souls of a husband and wife originate in the same, undifferentiated spiritual essence. The purpose of Jewish marriage is to enable the couple to manifest this unity of being in the context of everyday life, as developed through the threefold process of establishing an effective relationship, fostering togetherness, and finally merging in true oneness. With many illustrations from Biblical personalities, through modern psychology, and Kabbalistic theory, Rabbi Ginsburgh traces the steps through which today's Jewish couple can actualize these ideals in their married life.
