Problem is that the advice given is exaclty the opposite of what is being taught and/or implied by our Yeshivos and Sems.</p> <p>To quote Rabbi Doniel Frank (one of the authors):</p> <p><em>As a marriage and family therapist working almost exclusively with singles and couples in the religious community, as well as having been a director of Ohel’s school-based program that serviced more than 25 yeshivas in the New York area, it is my view that the challenges to a healthy and meaningful marriage do not lie in obstacles that can be addressed by simple, short-term solutions. The problems are rather the product of systemic failures in the manner in which much of our youth are being educated and raised. These deficiencies result in deficits in fundamental life skills and attitudes, including those necessary for marriage.</em> </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/symposium-on-preparedness-for-marriage#post-400463 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 12:37:29 +0000 WolfishMusings 400463@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>I'm reading some of the articles now. Some of the articles seem rather interesting.</p> <p>The Wolf </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/symposium-on-preparedness-for-marriage#post-400456 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 12:20:55 +0000 gavra_at_work 400456@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>There are no Toriahdik solutions. Babies will continue to get married and divorced. Even for adults divorces will happen. Who says it is a bad thing? Chazal say that for "ervas davar", a woman should be divorced. Hu Hadin (L'cheorah) for a man. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/symposium-on-preparedness-for-marriage#post-400434 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:55:40 +0000 lehagdil torah 400434@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Has anyone else read the new issue of Klal Perspectives about the high divorce rate for newly married couples? it offers some solutions and is interesting. I enjoyed the article by yitchak shechter. </p>
