Maran Rav Elozor Menachem Man Schach zt”l  told this story.

The Nesivos who was in a bad marriage and suffered

a lot from his  wife, tried to divorce her. She

refused to accept a Get. R. Akiva Eiger zt”l tried

to  convince her to accept a Get. She answered him

 “ From such a holy man I do not want to get divorced”

Rav Shach commented ” Even though she recognized

his greatness and holiness she still made him

צרות גדולות עד לשמים .”

Similarly, said Rav Shach “We find in Pasuk

ונברכו בך כל משפחות  ALL will recognize the

greatness of Avraham Avinu (Klall Yisroel) and

yet there will be ומקללך אאור  ,  haters of

Avraham Avinu who would still hate & curse him.
