Listen To The King

The pasuk says in the megilla ונשמע פתגם המלך ... וכל הנשים יתנו יקר לבעליהן - The word of the king was heard and all of the women gave honor to their husbands.


Said the Gerrer Rebbe the Beis Yisrael: If a husband listens to the word of the King of the world, then his wife will listen to him. If a man is doing what he should then his wife respects him so much more. Respect is probably the most basic building block of marriage.
