Blessed be the Name of the Lord who has chosen us from among all nations to carry the Word forward. Although this is no easy task, what can one ask for that could possibly bring greater joy. When the Ten Words were given at Mt. Sinai there was a great shift in the world, a people came forth and the marriage of all marriages then took place. A covenant between The Creator of the universe and His beloved. For this is why marriage should not be taken lightly. When a man comes forth at the very special time in his relationship prior to asking the question he should prepare his heart and in going forth all else stands still. As we shall read below:
When the Holy One, Blessed is He, presented the Torah at Sinai, not a bird chirped, not a fowl flew, not an ox lowed, not an angel ascended, not a seraph proclaimed Holy. The sea did not roll and no creature made a sound. All of the vast universe was silent and mute. It was then that the Voice went forth and proclaimed, I am HASHEM, your God. When God revealed Himself to Israel, the world fell silent, because this moment was pivotal not only to Israel but to all of Creation; had Israel not accepted the Torah, the universe would have come to an end.
The above paragraph is based on commentary, but one can surely see such a once in a lifetime event to have taken place.
Shalom.
