debate in Torah learning – “You are speaking nonsense,” or “Don’t ךְוּמ ָס ת ָבּ ֶַ ל ִֶ ר ֵנ" :י" ֶֶ ַר( "הּ ָל ת ִר ִל ְד ַמוּ ת ִר ִח ַא ְמ ת ָו ֲה ף ֵסּי

conversation with your wife you must be very careful in the choice
of the language you use, much more careful than the language you אלֹּ ִֶ ְכּ ,ם ֵה ָה םי ֶמָיּ ַבּ ד ָחֻי ְמ ֶבּ ."ת ָבּ ֶַ לוּלּ ֶח ר ֵפ ְס ֶל י ֶאּב ָתּ אלֹּ ִֶ

Additionally, from the very outset of establishing one’s home דוּמּ ַע ְו ם ָמּי פ ָנ ָע ִה דוּמּ ַע ֶי ֶמָי אלֹ ,אָי ְנ ַתּ :ף ֵסּי ב ַר הּ ָל ר ַמ ָא"
one must be extremely careful that his speech must always be ,ֶ ֵא ָה דוּמּ ַע ְל םי ֶל ְֶ ַמ פ ָנ ָע ִה דוּמּ ַע ִֶ ד ֵמּ ַל ְמ - ה ָלְי ַל ֶ ֵא ָה
appropriate. The manner in which a person expresses himself at
the beginning of his married life is the way the conversation will א ָרי ֵתְי א ָר ְר" :י" ֶֶ ַר( "פ ָנ ָע ִה דוּמּ ַע ְל םי ֶל ְֶ ַמ ֶ ֵא ָה דוּמּ ַע ְו

rule in all aspects of establishing one’s home, and this is also
true regarding the way one speaks; Do not bring into your home ּתּ ְֶ ֶא ְל ֶי ֶגּ ְד ֶה ף ֵסּי ב ַר .)"י ֵכ ָה ְבּ א ָע ְר ַא ח ַרֹא א ָמ ְל ַא .פ ָנ ָע ִה

particular, relative to one’s wife one must be especially careful
that he must pay close attention to his choice of words. Carrying פ ֵכּ ם ֶא ,ה ָלְי ַלּ ַה ת ִד ִר ם ִדֹר ֶ ֵא ָה דוּמּ ַע ת ִא רי ֶא ָה ְל םי ֶדּ ְר ֶה ִֶ
this idea further, within the framework of negative language that י ֶהּז !ךְ ָכּ ג ַה ְנ ֶנ וּנ ְח ַנ ֲא ם ַגּ בּטּ ַה ת ַר ָכּ ַה ךְּתּ ֶמּ ִֶ אוּה ץ ִר ִא ךְ ִר ִדּ
is oppressive, Chazal have specifically warned a husband about
oppressing his wife (Gemara Babba Metziah 59a) “Rav said – A .ה ָשּׁ ֶא ָה ם ֶע פוּע ֶט ְו ַחוּכּ ֶו ְבּ ה ֶָי ֶגּ ל ִֶ ת ִפ ִלּ ַא ְמ ה ָמ ְג ֻדּ
husband must always be very careful not to say things that would
upset his wife (Rashi – Using words that would cause her grief or ה ַמ פ ֵה ,תֶי ַבּ ַה י ֵר ְד ֶס ת ִא וי ָל ָע ל ֵבּ ַר ְל ךְי ֶר ָצ רי ֶע ָצּ ַה לַעַבַּה
pain and cause her to become sad) since her tears are always close
to the surface oppressive words will easily offend her. ,'וּכ ְו ה ָחוּר ֲא ָה י ֵנּ ַמ ְז ֶל ַע ֵגּנּ ִשּׁ ה ַמ פ ֵה ְו ,פּי ָקּ ֶנ ְו ר ִד ֵס ְל ַע ֵגּנּ ִשּׁ

A wife does not accept appeasement. ,ם ָתּא בי ֶֶ ֲח ַה ְל ךְי ֶר ָצ אוּה ם ַגּ ,ם ֵה םי ֶבוֶּ ֲח ָהי ִני ֵע ְבּ ל ָב ֲא ,ךְ ָכּ
