A special "treasure" for marriage expenses... (Pirkei Emunah, Security, Rabbi Shlomo of Zawahil z"a)
A story recorded by the Rebbe, Rabbi Mordechala z"a: One of the followers of Rabbeinu, a merchant, came and expressed his sorrow to the Rebbe that he had two daughters who had reached the age of marriage, but he was afraid to accept any proposal, because he was immersed in great debts, double the value of all the merchandise in his store, and the debtors are approaching him. And he does not know what to do. how can he take upon himself the burden of marriage?
Make an accurate account – a balance sheet – of your debts and the value of the goods in your store – our rabbi instructed him. He went out, checked, and found that the debts exceeded the merchandise in his shop by six hundred silver rubles. "Go and marry your daughters at a good and successful time!"Rabbeinu commanded him...There is a special "treasure" for marriage outside of the account. You will be able to obtain loans for the needs of marriage, and the owner of the treasury – G-d – will be faithful to fill the shortcoming.
After a while, the same Chassid returned to the matter of a match, and once again he felt bitter about his distressed situation, when the debtors were pressing and he had nothing, and how he could accept the burden of marriage. Rabbeinu mentioned from the previous matches, when he was about to marry his two daughters, and they asked him to make a balance sheet of his debts and the value of the goods he had. He went out again and checked his accounts, and found that the expenses of his two daughters' marriages amounted to about three thousand silver rubles, but his debts remained the same, six hundred rubles, and they did not increase . Now he saw with his own eyes that the marriage expenses of about three thousand rubles were repaid, G-d had completely repaid him...Now he understood the words of our Rabbi: that there is a special "treasure “for marriage...The pipes open with matchmaking...
