(Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories and examples.)
In this episode, Rabbi Manis Friedman and Dr. Jessica Higgins discuss:
- Functional marriages versus intimate marriages.
- Love doesn’t bond you, it separates you, because love is a personal experience.
- The difference between sex and intimacy.
- The harm of pornography and its pervasiveness in society.
- The essence of marriage is giving and receiving.
- Addressing tension points to build intimacy and trust.
- Only getting married if you believe in marriage and are in it forever.
- What home should feel like, regardless of moods.
"The thing
that is ruining marriages today is love – love has become toxic,
and love cannot hold a relationship together, it wasn’t meant to.
Being in love does not mean you’re in a good relationship, it means
you found some pleasure in your life." — Rabbi
