“A comparison to chassidim is therefore disingenuous since their hashakafa and society is different.
Likewise a story about a couple who dated for 6 months, since they were either relatively modern, or had some serious issues to work through. (If the latter, we can speculate on why they got divorced)”
popa_bar_abba, The point I bought up is that I don’t think having few dates is a factor for the divorce crisis. So what if chassidim have a different hashkafa?? What has that to do with it?? If your saying I can’t compare it to them because they have a different society/hashkafas then your saying that is our problem then! The society and haskafas! Nothing to do with the amount of dates then.
The couple who dated for 6 months and unfortunately had such a short lived marriage, divorced because the husband did something horrific. All that dating never revealed what he would be like after marriage. What I’m trying to show you is that I feel it has nothing to do with the amount of meetings, as so many people have written on here- its about working on the marriage and working on our faults.
