Peckele is a Yiddish word for "package" - a burden faced by some people such as Job.

Consider those people in which one spouse lives in America and the other lives in Israel. They stay in the country where they are employed and return home (under the best of conditions, relatively speaking) on weekends.

This is a self-inflicted peckele. Yes, they're raking it in. Yes, they're living their lifelong dream, at least one of them is, of living in Israel sort of. No, this is not the way to live life. They are not having a happy life together because they're not together. Maybe they joke about how that makes a good marriage because they don't have time to fight, but that's certainly a joke. It does not reflect what they should want.

If they can't be together for the week and one partner has to go away for part of the week, then somebody should check into the marriage and see why the glue isn't working well enough.
