Musar untuk Ratapan 3:31

And there are women devoid of knowledge, that cause their husbands strife over household needs that he did not bring, and this is great stupidity. In any case, if the husband is poor and doesn’t have the means for something, his [own] grief, pressure, shame, and humiliation are enough for him, for he is ashamed to reveal to his wife that he doesn’t have the means. And the wife must be sensible to ensure that she does not add to her husband’s pain, but rather, on the contrary she should comfort him with the sweetness of her lips and tell him: “do not be sorry about your empty purse, for Hashem will not spurn forever [Lamentations 3:31], and there will come days in which there will be delight, in which we shall be sated with bread and be well-off. Or there will be pleasure that our tables are full of abundance in the World to Come, for not all merit to eat from two tables [see Berakhot 5b], and this world is fleeting and empty. Rise, my father, eat your bread with joy, for also on bread alone does man live [play on Deuteronomy 8:3]”. And she should speak good words like these to him in favor and kindness, until he his happy and gives thanks for his portion, for the good fortune that fell to his lot.
