I have never heard anyone explain that marriage was not a commandment but rather a blessing. I always thought God was actually telling us to marry in Genesis. That part will sit with me for a while. I find these lessons to be helpful as I navigate what essentially is a life that requires examination--with Torah. Sadly, I do not know how to enjoy, at all times, the lifestyle God chooses to allow me to have. I cannot wait to leave America.
