The wife is liberated from financial stress
To be able to focus on other matters.
Like Shabbos doesn't restrict us from certain activities, but liberates us to focus on other matters.

"The body and soul are united and work together"
How is that, then, a person can harm himself up to the point where suicide is possible?
Is it just that the body is sick? Where is the neshoma's veto of such an extreme existential act? Does the body's desire overpower the neshoma's desire in such a case?

"The mind can't grasp the idea or metzius of the neshoma "
Relatively speaking, perhaps, we can say that out mind and body is just about as dense as the refrigerator is compared to the electricity that animates it.
Just as the frig is incapable of understanding much, let alone understanding the electricity that flows into it and vivifies it, so too, our minds and bodies can little understand the neshona vivifying our own bodies.

Chassidus is the nuclear energy of Torah but doesn't transform Torah
Like nuclear energy exists but didn't transform our physical world. Einstein et al merely revealed nuclear energy which was there all along but had to be revealed. So too, Chassidus following Kabbala.
It turns out that the timely revelation of nuclear energy and its practical application with the nuclear or atomic bomb, helped end the war. Just in time.
They just took out the top nuclear scientist in Iran. Just imagine had they taken out our Einstein before he was able to bring his science to the practical application of the bomb.
Can we say that the Tanya, was, similarly, the "atomic bomb" of Chassidus? And, further, can we say that the atomic bomb of the Tanya, and its fallout with chassidus, down to our time, also came just in time to "win the war" against the opposing forces of the widespread watering down of yiddishkeit and the mass assimilation that came on the heels of the Tanya in the 1800s and also down to today?
Is Tanya, and subsequent Chassidus, the atomic energy used by 5,000+ chabad houses, i.e. military regiments and outposts, around the world?

The Maggid gave his last Torah about Yakov sending melochim
Or, more accurately, aspects and parts of the melochim to Esav, while retaining other aspects with him.
So too, the Maggid, well aware that he was within days of his histalkus, was, perhaps, teaching about sending, or better, returning, his own neshoma back on high. The neshoma, or aspects of it,, comes down on a shlichus, and returns as a return shlichus.
We know that a certain aspect of the neshoma remains near the body and the grave. Perhaps the Maggid was teaching that just as aspects of the melochim remained with Yakov, so too, aspects of his neshoma would be remaining here below. And perhaps this was intended as a comfort to his disciples like the Rebbe who said "I'm going on high, but my writings remain with you down here".
