We all deserve to have a marriage relationship of friendship, joy, and pleasure. But how do we get there?
Two couples with expertise in marriage weigh in. Rabbi Berel and Mrs. Devorah Bell share perspectives from Torah and Chassidut, while Dr. Michael and Dr. Barbara Grossman contribute knowledge gained from their personal and counseling experience.
Some nuggets of wisdom: "Harsh words, demands, and ultimatums tear a marriage apart." "The very things that atrract you to your spouse often come to bother you." "We can't win at our spouse's expense." "No one is 100% right. Even if you're 90% right, you're still missing 10%" "First you have to empty yourself out: when a cup is full, nothing else can fit in."
Learn about the sources of marital conflict and listening techniques that help to dissolve them.
