Guest on Lifes Best Medicine – Creating a Great Marriage

How do you create a great marriage? What are some of the boundaries you need to set up to stay safe from disconnection or even infidelity? What can we learn from tradition and religion that protects our love?

Brian, Dovid, and Miriam talk about the value of premarital counseling, paradigms for dating from an orthodox religious perspective versus a modern liberal perspective, how people who are married can become seduced into having an affair because of a “harmless” friendship with a person of the opposite sex, and the shallow nature of modern dating and relationships. They also talk about how making a commitment to God—to put Him at the center of our lives—is the best foundation for a marriage relationship, the importance of practicing gratitude, discovering the root of bitterness and negativity in yourself, and the importance of language and phrasing when communicating with your spouse.
