When we overuse a special object we admire, it becomes trite. Worse, it can lose its meaning. If you wore a wedding dress every day instead of once in your life, it would lose its uniqueness and value. Worse yet, it — and perhaps marriage with which it is associated — would become trite. If I have special dishes I use only on the Sabbath, the dishes and the Sabbath are enhanced by that sui generis usage and bond between object and subject. The Sabbath and the wedding are the special part. The object is merely a reflection of it. Therefore, it is even more troubling when the object — the wedding dress or dishes — becomes the goal and the marriage or Sabbath becomes secondary.
