“2 young chassidishe couples i know are hardly proof of anything”
I know loads and loads of chassidish couples. The Tattys aren’t all supporting the couples, and yes many of the Mommies cook the meals in the beginning.
How is it better for girls to stay stranded without having an opportunity to find a shidduch, rather than a young couple 19-20 years old getting some support in the beginning whether monetary or meals or both.
Is marriage just a new roommate if you aren’t cooking a meal every day?
