In this Matchmaker Matchmaker podcast episode, Rabbi and Aleeza tackle a tough dating question: How should someone handle dating when suffering from financial issues due to job loss or other unforeseeable events? Is it a good time to date, since it could be a litmus test to see if your soulmate will stick around? Is it important to be happy, healthy, and confident before dating, regardless of financial circumstances? Aleeza believes that the best time to date is when you are in a good position, have self-confidence, and are employed, whether you like the job or not.

Your hosts, Aleeza and Rabbi disagree with the phrasing of the question, as they believe that once someone gets married, their partner becomes their soulmate. However, they acknowledge that some people may struggle with letting go of certain non-negotiables when searching for a partner. They suggest that at least 70% of the things a person wants in a partner should align with their values and fears, including how the person triggers them or irritates them. Have caution against settling for someone who is less than what a person wants, but acknowledge that people must learn to accept some irritating habits in their partners. The key to finding one's soulmate is to have clarity and choose a partner who aligns with one's values and who one can accept and tolerate over time.Check out the video version of this show at https://www.youtube.com/@aleezabenshalom/videosTo submit your question for a future episode, go to www.MarriageMindedMentor.com/Podcast
