It was a cold, rainy winter evening on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Just as the baker was about to close his shop, a man rushes in and orders two bagels.

"One for me, and one for Bernetta," he says.

"Bernetta is your wife?", asks the baker.

"Yes of course", the man replied, "you think my mother would send me out on such a night for a bagel?"

All jokes aside, everyone knows that the most important ingredient to a happy marriage are the small, seemingly unimportant things.

You ever wondered why flowers are such an integral part of marriage?

I was trying to get to the bottom of this, and I think that more than the fact that they are beautiful, is that your wife knows you just spent money for her on something that won't last forever, and perhaps you don't find much value in.

But that selfless act for something so trivial plays its important role.

The same thing is with the relationship between us and G-d. It is the little Mitzvah and seemingly unimportant customs, that mean so much to G-d and build a real relationship between us and Him.

When we choose to make one Mitzvah special to us that we may initially have thought to disregard, we build in ourselves a greater feeling of connection to G-d, and He in turn will "love you and bless you and multiply you" (Deuteronomy Chapter 7:14).
