The Marriage Seminar: Introduction

https://theshmuz.com/series/the-marriage-seminar/

Every smart young couple starts their marriage with the same dreams, goals and ideals. They’re one hundred percent sure that they will live in married bliss forever.

Until they aren’t.

Until the bickering, fighting and loneliness become second nature and they are left wondering where they went wrong. Unfortunately, making a happy marriage is not intuitive, and most couples make the same fatal errors when trying to build their Torah home. They’re not aware that these minor infractions are ruining the most precious relationship of their life.

The Marriage Seminar will give you a new level of understanding of what makes a marriage work. It will coach you on the practical techniques you need to bring a new level of intimacy and love into your marriage.

Make sure that your marriage doesn’t succumb to the same mistakes that Rabbi Shafier has seen so many others make. Listen to The Marriage Seminar and build the most satisfying relationship imaginable.

In this week’s parsha, Rashi explains how the lives of tzadikim, beloved to Hashem, are described in detail in the Torah. This is in contrast to reshaim like Eisav whose lives are not dwelled upon. Rashi compares the reshaim to ‘rocks’, something that is discarded when searching for a gem in the sand. The implication is that a life of evil is as worthless as a rock.

What is the value of a human life? Although the chemical composition of man is worth little more than $980, in the Torah’s eyes, a life is invaluable. But are we living our best life? How we can we ensure we’re not ‘living like a rock’, going through the motions of life but not adding anything of lasting value? Our potential in ruchnius is unlimited. We are neshamos with infinite potential. This shmuz gives us the focus we need to ensure our actions are purposeful and our lives are ones of meaning.
 

Wherever you are, Hashem is there. With you.
