כִּי אָמַר: הֲלֹא הַנָּשִׁים הֵם סוֹבְלִים צַעַר וְיִסּוּרִים גְּדוֹלִים מְאֹד מְאֹד מִיַּלְדֵיהֶם, צַעַר הָעִבּוּר וְהַלֵּדָה וְהַגִּדּוּל כַּאֲשֶׁר יָדוּעַ לַכֹּל עֹצֶם מַכְאוֹבָם וְצַעֲרָם וְיִסּוּרֵיהֶם בְּכַמָּה אֳפָנִים הַקָּשִׁים וּכְבֵדִים מְאֹד מְאֹד. עַל כֵּן רָאוּי לְרַחֵם עֲלֵיהֶם, וּלְיַקְּרָם, וּלְכַבְּדָם.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
He said, “Women have much anguish from their children. They suffer in pregnancy and childbirth and then have the troubles of raising their children. This is besides the many other areas in which they suffer. You should take this into consideration and honor and respect your wife.”

וְכֵן אָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ ז"ל (בָּבָא מְצִיעָא נט.): 'אוֹקִירוּ לִנְשַׁיְכוּ כִּי הֵיכִי דְּתִתְעַתְרוּ', וְכֵן אָמְרוּ (יְבָמוֹת סג.): 'דַיֵּנוּ שֶׁמְּגַדְּלוֹת אֶת בָּנֵינוּ' וְכוּ'.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The Talmud teaches, “Honor your wife, that you may have wealth” (*Bava Metzia* 59a). It also states, “It is sufficient that they raise our children” (*Yebamot* 63a).
