I too enjoy our discussion.
And youve gotten me to reevaluate and prove my position which is great.

furthermore you got me to rethin another position, that is tangentially related to this, namely does every halachic position need “proof” or are some obvious.

My inital inclination was that some things are obvious, but I’m less sure now.

Incidentally do you know of any discussions regarding which is worse intermarriage or marrying someone who won’t keep taharas hamishpacha.

Using your framework I take it you’d say the latter is worse. To me, it is obvious that the former is worse, though I concede that I cant prove it (I have some weak rayahs up my sleeve but nothing worth sharing at the moment)

DO you (or anyone reading this ) know of any treatments on this topic?

Looking forward to Thursday
