Instead, Hashem created one from the other to demonstrate the need for them to live together as a single unit. This concept is reflected in the commentaries of the Ramban and Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch on the \u003ci\u003epasuk\u003c\/i\u003e, “והיו לבשר אחד — And they shall become one flesh” (\u003ci\u003eBereishis\u003c\/i\u003e 2:24), which explain that “one flesh” constitutes one mind, one heart, and one soul. Indeed, the \u003ci\u003eZohar\u003c\/i\u003e teaches that before uniting in marriage, man and woman are only a \u003ci\u003eplag gufa\u003c\/i\u003e, half a person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding under the \u003ci\u003echuppah \u003c\/i\u003etransforms two separate individuals into that single cohesive unit that Hashem intended. Maintaining that indivisibility, central to achieving a successful marriage, requires vigilant focus on shalom bayis\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feldheim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383071989956,"sku":null,"price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/2886\/6244\/files\/036DB1BD-5B20-4C19-9DDB-C6E8F65E28BF.jpg?v=1763048664","url":"https:\/\/kingston-judaica.myshopify.com\/products\/the-eternal-marriage-bond","provider":"Kingston Judaica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
