While it sounds like you live in a beautiful community and have a wonderful social life, you are making one mistake. Everyone has weaknesses, and it is immature and unwise to think otherwise. A woman should trust her husband in the workplace and in the outside world in general, but she should always protect him from outside influences – one of the stated reasons why a kallah walks around her husband seven times under the chuppah.

Furthermore, just because a marriage breaks up does not mean it wasn’t meant to be. Successful marriages require a lot of hard work, and sometimes, couples are either unwilling or unprepared to put in effort. People who enter a marriage thinking that it will be a fairytale union are usually mistaken. Marriage can be an amazing experience, but today’s young couples need to realize that it does not happen via a magic wand; rather, it becomes amazing through much hard work and dedication.
