After getting married, the Berditchever immediately went to visit the Maggid and stayed there for a long time. When he returned home, his father-in-law was angry and asked why he had been away from his wife for so long. The Berditchever responded by saying, "I have come to realize that there is a creator of heaven and earth." The father-in-law laughed and said, "To learn this you needed to exert yourself?"
