From Overwhelmed to Togetherness: Nurturing Your Marriage Connection

Question: My wife and I got married with shared values—building a Torah home together. But after our third child, things changed. I became overwhelmed with work, and she felt alone with the kids. She started snapping, and I withdrew. We’re fulfilling our obligations, but the warmth is gone. The longer we’re married, the more distant we feel, as if the connection between us is quietly fading. In fact, she once said, “I feel invisible.” How does a couple lose their connection, and how do we rebuild the connection we’ve lost? • Aharon Schmidt replies, from the Living Jewish’s Farbrengen column • Read More

Moses sculpted a snake of copper and duly placed it on top of a pole. Those who had been afflicted by the snake bite would gaze on the serpentine image on the pole and be cured • Full Article
