It would be like buying roses for my
wife for Shabbos. It's a beautiful
beautiful thing to do. It's a gesture.
Makes a woman feel good and similar
types of gestures that build connection.
But what happens if as a result of
buying those roses, I am going to get
into a bad mood, I'm going to get angry
cuz I didn't have the money to spend it
on and I was stressed and I had to run
somewhere and I got stuck and I almost
didn't come home for Shabbos and then a
whole Shabbos I'm giving my spouse an
attitude because I bought them roses. So
I'm sure any healthy wife would tell the
husband, you know what? Why don't you
forget the roses? Let's just have a
beautiful Shabbos together. All the
chumeras and hidurim, a hidur mitzvah is
for enhancing a relationship. It's to
make a relationship so much more
meaningful and so much more beautiful.
But if it's creating anxiety and stress
and it's causing the person to actually
feel a lot of negativity, so one has to
be very very cautious about that. I'm
not going to say that a person should
let go of all the minhogim of the family
and all the chumeras of all the hidurim
of the family. The main point is because
you want to connect in a deeper way. You
want to suck the marrow out of the
relationship. I don't just want to make
a checklist and say I did it. I go the
extra mile because I appreciate the
power of it. But if the results are the
exact opposite and it's just
overwhelming me and the whole Pesach
becomes just one big negative burden,
one should be very very cautious and
very very careful.
