The Challenge
The first and second Zivug are the tough ones. The surrounding Din makes them into acts of faith. After the first Zivug, it will be initially not be clear where is HaKadosh Baruch Hu in this matter, how He is Mashpia L'Tovah. The Shechina does not rise yet. It is a test, a test of faith. At the second Zivug, the Shechina has risen, but yet there is a huge act of faith. Both Zivugim are in the time of Moshiach ben Yosef, that is, the time of the awakening from below. That is the challenge.
