When Leah gave birth to Reuven, she said that G-d had seen her affliction and now her husband will love her.

G-d and the Jewish People are compared to husband and wife. During exile, when the Jewish People are afflicted and G-d’s love is hidden, G-d sees that they still continue to observe Torah and Mitzvos, and this brings about that G-d will reveal His love for us in the true and complete Redemption.
