The Magic of A Real Marriage - Rabbi Manis Friedman and Dr. Laurie Betito 

Marriage means we already have the love, now I want you! Rabbi Manis Friedman

The only time I feel lonely is when I’m around people. Never lonely with my pets!

I wish the woman never interrupted

Manis, you are a treasure.

Well I miss my husband vary much, but I couldn't compete with alcohol, I tried for 38 years, so I am alone on earth but I turn to God a lot to fill my void

Such a great conversation! We aren't taught how to cultivate intimacy in our relationships and it's such a shame.

My husband and marauding was a gift from hashem to me it’s better than any fairytale and way better than I expected

I wish I could find a woman who listens to the teaching of this Rabbi.

Yes he is married with many children. I studied with him in Minnesota in the 90’s.

So beautifully said Rabbi.

Why we love him, because he is love👍🕊️♥️🕊️

Thank you, this is Excellent. ( Ebbing and flowing of marriage) has nothing to do with lust.

Terrific discussion.

I hope my future husband is watching yoúr videos

I loved my husband alot, but he left me and our four kids for his co worker and has no regrets and is happier with her and not seeing kids much . men suck lol all sucked in to social media bla bla takes them awy from real world. I left all social media and my life is SOOO much better for it and my kids life too. I love the wisdom from Rabbi Manis, he is sooooo cool to hear and sometimes it sucks what he says but its gods truth and thats the final word, so work on getting better from there !!! xxxx

I think some of the fantasy relationship can come true, but one needs to seek the partner whom the lord chooses for them. He knows what's best & has a way of adding magic.

This is good

You can constantly work on gratification and keep that love and appreciation alive and warm .

When you don't have privacy then you don't have intimacy. With all the cameras everywhere around today this might make you feel paranoid. Intimacy is also expressing yourself and first allowing yourself to feel and express what's happenning to you.🥰

RFS Israel,

I miss my husband horribly. Heart attack eight years ago. No children.

Rabbi are you married

Grass ain't greener

disney was the worst thing for expectations for a woman in marriage. its not always hard to find the spouse as it is always as hard as it have a great marriage. marriage is hard work

The Old Norse used to call lust 'love kindling'. I think I prefer that term. 'Lust' is a very loaded term in the 'christian west'. Its a kind of 'sin'. Love kindling leads to love. A much better term 8n my view.

Correction Marriage involves 3 parties (husband wife & state) that's polygamy and you need states permission via license to break the law.... Holy matrimony and wedlock is for man and wife in the eyes of God.

Yes: Weיה אהבה originally purposed, of woman and man being joined / intertwined soul to soul, flesh to flesh two souls covered/wrapped in earth flesh to be one(as One being of two souls) in the marriage union, is for the male and female to be Helping Mates, one with to, &for the other; for generating חיים for human soul propagation, and maintenance; while simultaneously parting loneliness from both; as the two are meant/\decreed not to separate [{through the giving/gifting; and receiving by male, of the gifted trust, the hymen; from her - and the female receiving the males trust held for her, the female, (his testes and their semen) of the male to she] - even while in their daily activities of/by perpetuating the propagation of this live eternally, living garden of Life, with more souls/perpetual life. This design: to protect both human souls simultaneously, through each's soul's attention to its now completed other half's, other's emotional and physiological conditions manifesting in any given eternal instant. (Situations are far less dangerous, and toiling is far less toiling; when two halves are (whole, [together), to watch and aid] where the other is not able, while together; while together). ירושלים קודש המשיע, רוח הקודש אהבה יהוה לב אהבה

I only gave up my aloneness because I loved my husband. I love quietness, where the only sound you hear is nature. People are chaotic. We're not all built to need that chaos, so I disagree on this point.

I think the magic of a real marriage would be sex, love, companionship. Love is not having a husband who acts like he is living in a boarding house among strangers where everyone lives their own life. Companionship is not having a wife in the same house but paying more attention to the television or the tablet. Companionship is having someone to spend time with so it does not feel just as lonely as when you were single. Sex is something you saved for marriage and then you get married and sex is twice a week, then once a week, then once a month, then once a year and then never and the husband claims he loves you.
