So Moses and Elijah's famous encounters with G-d (the 13 attributes of Mercy for Moses, and the still small voice for Elijah) both took place in the same cave. Neat!

Better than Plato's Cave - Megila 19b
Rabbi Hiyya Bar Abba teaches in the name of Rabbi Yochanan, "If in the cave where Moshe and Eliyahu stood there had been a hole even as large as a small thread, they would not have been able to withstand the light, as it is written, (Exodus 33:20) 'For one cannot see Me and live.'"
Zohan has good company. Shabat 95a
As Rabbi Shimon Ben Menasia interpreted, (Genisis 2:22) "The L-rd G-d built the side" teaches us that the Holy One Praised be G-d braided Eve's hair and then brought her to Adam.
To me, this is a nice source for the importance of bringing couples together.
