Spousal Differences

Crazzzy story I heard yesterday from an unimpeachable source. There was a huge gadol [I know who but don't think that his name should be broadcast to the world] who lost his wife in the Holocaust. He remarried after the war to another woman. Now this Rav was a spontaneous, outgoing, affectionate, fun-loving, free-spirited personality. He wife was the quiet, reserved, introverted type. It was NOT an easy shidduch. After a year of suffering the Rav decided that enough is enough and he is going to the beis din to end the marriage.

A friend of his, another well known Rav, convinced him to have patience and it will work out. He did and they never got divorced. He used to point to his friend and say "He saved me".

After he died his wife was despondent. She said "With the two of us, there was never a dull moment..."

Moral: If you are different from your spouse, there is hope. Have patience:-).
