QUESTION
10) Once the Rav said that a husband can’t satisfy his wife’s spiritual needs by just saying a dvar Torah at the Shabbos table. I identify very much with that! I understand what “not” to do, but what can I do proactively to provide ruchniyus for my wife? Should a husband and wife learn a sefer together? And if yes, which sefer?

ANSWER:

It would be worthwhile to come up with topics to discuss that will open up deeper conversations with each other, such as by discussing interesting questions together, and to use that as a springboard of entering into a discussion about one particular inner spiritual point. It is also worthwhile for a husband to learn with his wife a sefer such as Michtav M’Eliyahu.
