The Architecture of Intimacy
In our fast-paced world, we often rush through milestones, wanting to skip straight to the "happily ever after." Rambam teaches us that Jewish marriage is not just a ceremony, but a two-stage process: Erusin (the commitment) and Nisu’in (the coming together). He emphasizes that even after the legal commitment, a couple isn't "home" yet. They need the chuppah—a space of privacy and shared sanctity—to truly transition into a life joined as one. For parents, this is a profound reminder: intimacy and deep connection aren't instantaneous. They are built through intentional private moments, not just public declarations.
