Reading the injunction of , "And you shall rejoice, you "and your household"," a Midrash taught that a man without a wife dwells without good, without help, without joy, without blessing, and without atonement. Without good, as says that "it is "not good" that the man should be alone." Without help, as in , God says, "I will make him a "help" meet for him." Without joy, as says, "And you shall rejoice, you "and your household"" (implying that one can rejoice only when there is a "household" with whom to rejoice). Without a blessing, as can be read, "To cause a blessing to rest on you "for the sake of your house"" (that is, for the sake of your wife). Without atonement, as says, "And he shall make atonement for himself, "and for his house"" (implying that one can make complete atonement only with a household). Rabbi Simeon said in the name of Rabbi Joshua ben Levi, without peace too, as 1 Samuel says, "And peace be to your house." Rabbi Joshua of Siknin said in the name of Rabbi Levi, without life too, as says, "Enjoy life with the wife whom you love." Rabbi Hiyya ben Gomdi said, also incomplete, as says, "male and female created He them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam," that is, "man" (and thus only together are they "man"). Some say a man without a wife even impairs the Divine likeness, as says, "For in the image of God made He man," and immediately thereafter says, "And you, be fruitful, and multiply (implying that the former is impaired if one does not fulfill the latter).
