Step 52 * Matching Principle

The principle we have been studying , on the path ... Has a matching one - With the measure one uses , that is how things will be measured to him : Midah kneged Midah. ( Megila 12 b ).
One who blesses others , Hashem will bless him in a similar manner.

If we go all out to avoid the sins the Torah instructs us to avoid , Hashem will help us succeed. One example are the laws of avoiding all forms of aroyos.
The root of the word is ayin reish which spells ra when turned around which means bad. The Torah teaches the purpose of marriage - it is not good to be alone- a person needs a helpmate. But the spouse must be suitable - not an ervah - one who is forbidden to him.

When we avoid forbidden relationships , Hashem will enhance our marriages to make them successfull in every way.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
