The Marriage Escalator
Why Every Marriage Is Either Growing or Drifting Apart

Every marriage is like an escalator—you're either growing closer or drifting apart. In this episode, Rabbi Nissan shares practical Torah insights on friendship, communication, trust, and how to build a marriage rooted in genuine connection. 

This Tisha B’Av episode of The Bigger Picture explores how responsibility—when given with dignity—can rebuild connection in marriage, parenting, and life.
A real, raw, and surprisingly hopeful look at what broke us… and what can heal us.

There’s a word in every Torah scroll that’s written with a broken letter — and that word is shalom, peace. In this heartfelt episode, Rabbi Nissan Ahoobim unpacks what that means for our lives. Through the story of Korach’s sons, the loss of the Temple, and the struggles we face in relationships and within ourselves, we discover that peace isn’t about perfection — it’s about how we show up when things are still broken.

This episode explores what it means to truly see and be seen — in marriage, parenting, and in life. And sometimes it's not just about what we focus on, but what we avoid looking at. What we choose to see — and not see — shapes our relationships, our growth, and how we show up in the world. See you there!
