Our daf continues with the theme that A man must be especially careful not to offend his wife with his words - or any other woman - because she may bring retribution on him with her tears. One must also be very careful about his wife's honor because a person's house is blessed only on account of his wife.
One must be very careful not to cause Ona'ah to his wife because her tears are frequent. (Shulchan Aruch CM 228:3)
Because a woman is naturally very soft and as a result of just a little bit of pain she cries and Hashem Yisbarach is Makpid on the tears because the gate of tears is never closed. (Sma)
We explore the complexity of marriage and spousal verbal abuse.
