הגדרה (אנגלית)

A person is granted a spouse according to the decree of divine providence, based on their conduct.

(“A spouse is not matched to a person except according to his deeds, as it is said (Psalms 125): ‘For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous.’ Rabba bar bar Hana said in the name of Rabbi Yohanan: And matching couples is as difficult as the splitting of the Red Sea.” – Sotah 2a)
