Reply To: Should Your Spouse Be Your Best Friend?

“According to the Vilna Gaon, marriage has not arrived at its ultimate purpose
until husband and wife create an emotional bond between them strong
enough to make them feel that they are two parts of a single organism.”
-Rav Aharon Feldman in his The River, the Kettle and The Bird –
he gives the source as the GRA’s commentary on Mishlei 9:10.
