What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Duvi Bensoussan’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

why is our marriages compared to kriyat yamsuf i mean you know a marriage is a bond we're bringing people together and we're comparing to something that's split isn't that a little bit odd wouldn't you look at marriage if i had to bring you some sort of a mashal some sort of a paradigm something to describe the bond of bringing two forces together and making it so tight and so perfect and so one and yet it's always compared to the splitting of the sea hey if i wanted to compare marriage to something the last thing i would ever will use the last word would be splitting it would be bonding it would be reuniting and yet it's always korea yamsuf it's always about the splitting of the sea isn't that like the worst example when you'd want to talk about marriage and yet the torah uses that as the great mashal for a husband and a wife coming together in the great holy matrimony of how do you understand this and the answer is an incredible answer and here's where our words begin tonight the words of the ariza hakadosh writes the arizona people they read that mizekhit sota and they heard this concept that's called zivug sheni and they get nervous uh oh did i end up with the white one says the arizal you got it all yes i know what the rashi says there i'm tonight telling you what the arizona writes he says do you know the way hashem makes a shidduch between husband and wife he goes to the great hotel of souls then the shamath in heaven and he takes a magnificent soul and he cracks the soul in half he splits them two halves of one hole
