How Do You Get Married and Not Separate?

The Daily Chizuk from our teacher, the Tzaddik, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a – "One does not marry for the sake of desire"

Tuesday, 6 Tammuz 5782 – "Hashem wanted Mashiach to come from a father and a mother," these are his holy words:

It is forbidden to marry a woman for the sake of desire.

Reb Noson says: A woman is not for the sake of desire; it is for the sake of bringing Mashiach.

One must direct their intention in this matter for the sake of Heaven, then Mashiach will come - the woman is only a vessel to bring the soul of Mashiach; it is not for the sake of desire, for physical pleasures - that is forbidden.

If you want physical pleasures, then you separate; if you marry for the sake of physical desire, you immediately separate - that is the reason why people separate.

And therefore, it is forbidden for a person to marry for the sake of desire, it is forbidden for him to be with his wife for the sake of desire, even if he has already been married to her for 40 years. It does not matter, it is never permitted to have a connection of desire - only to bring Mashiach.

Because Mashiach must come through a man and a woman, through a father and a mother. Hashem could have made it so there would be a father alone, a mother alone, but Hashem made it so there would be both a father and a mother.
