This chapter is an elaboration to the basic framework that Rav Soloveitchik portrays in Lonely Man of Faith in terms of Adam I/II perspectives on marriage.

This essay, aptly describes how we can “redeem” marriage with the proper outlook and perspective.

1) How do the laws related to marriage Nidda and Yichud for example help us redeem marriage? What are we redeeming marriage from?

2) In what way(s) through marriage are we imitating G-d ( Imitatio Dei) ?

3) p.44 “The covenant introduces into the historical ever-changing reality an element of persistence or constancy” – what point/theme is the Rav getting at by talking about a covenant and persistency within marriage?
