Reply To: Facebook Is To Blame For Rising Orthodox Jewish Divorce Rate?

To blame Fox News and the like for a persons infidelity is like blaming someone’s weight problem with restaurant billboards. My husband and I watch Fox News and we are still holding on to a strong marriage. Do you ever think it’s the fact that the rebbes and our society try to close us off from the outside world so much that it just makes the taboo more tantalizing? I do and I know a lot of other people that do as well. ” don’t go into manhattan unless its an absolute necessity”. ” don’t open your eyes at a chassunah chas vshalom you will see the heel of a woman dancing”. ” don’t read the ny times or wsj there might be a spread with a picture of that female cogresswoman and c’v it exites someone”. I think that by making every single little aspect of life seem so dangerous to us, that it is intact pushing people to explore that which is so “taboo” and giving a possible intriguing and exciting out for someone in a rut or boring marriage.
