What Makes a Good Marriage

Love isn't what holds a marriage together. Drawing on 55 years of counseling couples, Rabbi Manis Friedman explains the three things that do.

In this talk:

  • The three things every marriage stands on, and the one most couples never talk about
  • Why familiarity breeds contempt at home, and the simple habit that stops it
  • Why so many happily married couples still feel alone, and what actually cures it
  • What makes a marriage different from even the best friendship

A recorded talk, about 50 minutes. Watch the moment you sign up.
