Tfillin and Marriage Symbols
Just noticed this morning that not only do we recite psukim (verses) about being bethrothed to G-d while wrapping tfillin straps around our fingers, we then go on to wrap the strap around the ring where people contemporarily wear wedding rings. I wonder if there was some influence, although I very much doubt it. But it was a striking sort of coincidence.
I wonder if that affects how married Jews feel about their rings and/or about their tfillin. (Input, anyone?)
