Then we learn about the highest form of the relationship which is Panim El 'Panim, facing each other. As it is with a husband and wife relationship. Hamaivin Yavin . As the mikvah has the potential to repair the most intimate relationships. The Kavana when going to the Mikvah should be to learn how to cultivate a relationship of Panim El 'Panim , facing each other, seeing each other, rather than one of Neged , against each other. May Hashem grant every Bayit in Am Yisrael this awareness so that we may all shift from a relationship of Neged , to a relationship of Panim El 'Panim. From Mayim Tahorim Shared Anonymously
