Kiddushin is the Hebrew term for wedding. What makes a relationship “sacred”? In what ways can you enhance the holiness of
your relationship?
From my perspective, the two people involved in the relationship are responsible for defining what makes their relationship “sacred”. I believe that every relationship will have a slight variation on the definition of this term. For me and my husband, “sacred” can be defined as separate and unique. Our relationship should be different than all other relationships in our life. We have chosen to hold our relationship above all others at all times. I am not stating that this definition is easy to uphold, but I know that we have both committed to each other that this is what we strive to do in our marriage on a daily basis. One of the ways we ensure that our relationship continues to be “sacred” is by taking time to continually work on our relationship. Relationships take love, respect, trust, communication and honesty. As a couple, we try to take at least one night a week to reserve as a date night. This gives us time to be a couple away from our parental responsibilities and to reconnect after busy work weeks. We know that if we didn’t make time to focus on our relationship, we wouldn’t. Our little dates allow us to discover and enjoy each other without life’s other distractions. We especially make sure that we continue these evenings together even when we are going through a marital rough patch. That is when we need to reconnect and focus on what we love about each other the most.
