Who washed the dishes last night?
Sometimes the spreadsheet of chores might not add up. We might ask "why am I doing this"? It makes no sense.
And yet, in those moments when we rise above reason, that's when we prove our commitment and loyalty in the relationship. It's when we discover a deeper dimension of connection that transcends logic. 
The core and essential bond - an unbreakable link.
This is the message of the Red Heifer. A Mitzvah (of purification after coming into contacts with a corpse) that is classified as a decree. Why a red cow? Why is this process done on the 3rd day and repeated on 7th. How does it work? No reason is given. On the contrary, it is highlighted that this particular Mitzvah has no explanation.
It reminds us that as much as we are enjoined to learn and try to understand every aspect of the Torah, and have that intellectual relationship, there is something that goes beyond that. A soul connection that transcends it all.
