In this conversation, 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, the shallow nature of modern dating and relationships, 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.
Life’s Best Medicine According to Dovid: “Happiness is a choice and it’s something that you can create for yourself and for your family.”
Life’s Best Medicine According to Miriam: “I have a purpose here and there is a purpose to this thing called life that looks so random. Make the choice to walk in that purpose—whatever that purpose might be calling me to do. That calling is always kindness. Kindness is a choice and a purpose—that we can make the world a better place.”
