    Marital Intimacy is A Classic Vital Book

    Thank you for writing it. Every Jew should read it. It should be required for every couple to read.

    Great explanation here as well.

    Agree

    I couldn't agree more. I have been married for twelve years now and because I am so particular about following these laws I find myself so sensitive to my husband that when I get mad at him once in a while I literally cannot bear to hand something directly to him as touching him suddenly becomes something so intimate, almost like a kiss. I suppose this sounds crazy to someone who doesn't live this lifestyle but that doesn't make this feeling not true.

    Eloquently stated. I truly enjoyed listening to Rabbi Friedman's class.

    Hi
    Thank you for this. It was good to hear. I do have a question, and when Rabbi Friedman speaks of what the Torah has to say--may I ask which particular passages, references he is using?
    Thank you.
    Shalom
