Reply To: How do you understand "Vesimach es ishto?"

WIY – I was happy when I got married. I was even more happy when I had my children. I was even HAPPIER when I married off a couple of my children (still 3 to go), and happier STILL when they gave me aineklach. The happiest moment in my life thus far, was when my aineklach, each in turn, called me “Bubby,” and held their arms out to me to hold them. Ain’t nothing like that feeling in the world (without including the obvious goes without saying idea that Hashem and Torah make us most joyful). So my husband is responsible in a very material way for all that happiness.
