With all of a wife’s desire that her husband will be the final authority
guiding the family, on occasion it is likely that the emotions of a ."הּ ָמּ ֶא ְו ָהי ֶב ָא ל ִא ֵמ ר ֵתּי הּ ָל ְע ַב ְבּ

Chazal teach in Gemara Chulin (84b) “A man should always eat
and drink less than his means could afford, and dress and clothe
himself according to his means, and honor his wife and children,
meaning, to provide for all of their needs at a level more than he
can afford, (Rashi: He should dress himself according to his means
so that he does not embarrass himself, and provide for his wife in
a manner more than he can afford) since they are dependent on
him and he is dependent on the One-who-spoke-and-created-the-
world.” One must understand this Gemara since all of them are
