What to do if my wife stopped wearing a wig?

My name is David, and we are a religious family. We have been married for six years. My wife used to wear a wig, but due to the military situation, we are not living together now. Yesterday she took off her wig, and I can't come to terms with it. Please advise on the best course of action. I am working on my spiritual growth, but I really need advice. Thank you.

Shalom!
Thank you for your question.

We are sorry to hear about your difficult situation.

It is challenging to provide specific recommendations on this issue without knowing more details about your marital relationship.  In any case, matters of religion and the level of observance should be discussed and agreed upon jointly by the spouses.

If you agreed that she would cover her hair, and now she has decided not to, it may be a sign that the marital relationship is deteriorating. If this is the case, and tension has arisen between you, I would recommend consulting a family counselor. If there is no tension, but your wife has simply made a shocking decision for you, it might be worth having an honest conversation with her and explaining how important hair covering is to you.

We wish you success and are ready to assist you further if needed.
