    THe reason why in the secular world therapy isnt something they hide is because in general when they meet each other its the externals that attract them to each other..they dont know the inner person and all his meshugaisen.

    We try to look at the internals of a person,we as around about his middos,character and inner issues a person has ..We are looking to build a stable yiddish home, so we try to take the most stable and normal person possible. So you’re going to argue that a person that went for therapy is stable because they went for help and they are doing well..Well, Y do we need to take something that had issues? i’d rather take the girl/ boy who I (think) Know didn’t have any issues.

    Sof davar, yes i agree with you….Many people came out unbelieving.. we may not judge the generation that went through the unimaginable horrors of the holocaust! For some reason i find it hard to believe that hashem will judge them the same way we are judged..

    mischiefmaker, it was far from a perfect world then.. I once heard one of the rabbiem speaking, I think it was Reb Avigdor Miller, but i’m not sure..He said don’t think that the holocaust came and everyone was perfect then..assimilation, intermarriage, alot alot of lost youth to all the isms.. It’s just that when u realize that Hitler meant all of us.. if you were chassidush, litvish, even a converted christian it didnt matter. he took each and every single one of them….It didnt help how integrated you were. Maybe they realized that externals didn’t help. running away and turning away from yiddishkeit didnt help.

    Also, Hashem shouldnt put us into this nasoyan ever ever, but ppl. have different reactions under different circumstances. If you will look back in history you will see that many many people clung to their faith in all trying times,f.e. spanish inquisition, kazakhs, pogroms, and world wars people gave their life al kiddush hashem.. The yetzer hora failed!! but guess what!? He found a different Technic, He’s trying us with an abundance of good………and many many people are falling!

    May hashem bring moshiach bakurev and take us out of this long and bitter exhile!

    I asked a shielah, most poskim didnt want to answer it. although finally i did get an answer from one rav. he said that anything that’s older than 5 years (n i bought many of them) is less of a shielah, .(I cant say you’re allowed to, cuz it would be ideal if everyone asks on their own) and anything that’s newer than 5 years should be bought.

    On the same note It says about rabbanim of generations are given according to what the people deserve or on the level they are .

    About Eisev, we learnt that he was zoche to have his head buried there because he was great at kibud av

    Problem with doing what you like is , ( as music lover29

    says), that it doesn’t always bring him enough money.

    So it isnt’ practical to do what you like.

    So, we take our second best option.

    Many People turn away from yiddishkeit because of their anger and hurt, and others are smart enough to go get help.

    I think part of the solution would be if alot more people out there with would be willing to help and mentor young adults. Maybe our upcoming adults will be better able to handle the hardships that the world has to offer.

    ON a different note i also realized that people who claim to be openminded and accepting are everything BUT that when it comes to people that are frummer or keeping more chumros than them. Just an interesting observation!

    You got me all wrong, I agree with you.. since, I myself went for therapy and I think i’m really really normal. 😛

    But, unfortunately there are many ppl. out there that think that way. Maybe that person needs someone she respects and whose opinion she really really values to coach her into going.

    If she works , maybe she can work out something in middle of the day, and have it as her lunch hour, so her parents wouldnt need to know about it at all. I know of a friend that arranged it that way and it worked really great!

    Also, I can see Why people are afraid of going for help.. People around here when they inquire about a shidduch would dismiss and right away so no to such a shidduch, obv. the girlboy is less than perfect if she/he needed therapy , why should I or my child have to live with someone who has problems? Yes, you’re going to argue that alot of people have problems they just didnt take care of it or u dont know about it.. But, why would u take something you DO know?

    First, I think both spouses need to WANT to have a happy marriage. They need to communicate effectively. They need to have the same short and long term goals. They need to learn to live unselfishly. They need to learn to not take advantage of their spouses weaknesses. They need to learn to prioritize in all aspects: money, time, goals, happiness. And they need to be compatable. If you do all these things for each other, I think love, in most cases, will come.

    Clearly we are dealing with one spouse that is UNWILLING to do anything or cooperate…. Also, Personally I feel that a person in such a marriage should be coaxed and encouraged to leave. Many times you find that the spouse is soo abused that they dont have the strength to demand a divorce when they really should. Nothing good can come out of such a marriage, not for the spouses and not for the kids..

    Also, when either husband or wife wants to get a divorce and they are determined to do so, Is a rav able to say halacha recognized your reason as being invalid therefore, you cannot get divorced?

    Guess what, some people have different ideas of no alternative.. I know someone personally that is married to an abusive husband, and she called his rosh yeshivah and many rabbonim to try to influence him for the better …Since the guy is totally crazy and they realized they cant deal with him, they advised her to live beside him and be submissive.. OH well!

    I’m sure people think divorce is fun and that’s the reason they divorce.

    Divorce is dirty, awful , stinky, heart wrenching and every negative word i can think of.

    I have a hard time believing ppl. divorce because they have nothing to do! Yes, people divorce for reasons and i’m sure they have good reasons..It isnt always obvious and we don’t always know why….

    I have the similar thing ur describing. No doctor was able to tell me what it was or help me in any way. One Doctor told me it might be stress related and square breathing would help it..You breath in through your nose hold it to the count of 4 breathe out and hold to the count of 4 so on and so forth. do it for about 5 minutes it should really help.

    Yes i’d much rather have them in in smaller proportion! Do trials and tribulations humble you? Yes, do they shape you to be a better person? Most defenite, if you have the right thoughts. I’d be a hypocrite if i’d say that I’m always thinking that hashem loves me and therefore he’s trying me.

    Our days arent always good! but we want to believe that they ARE for the better. That hashem is doing it only for our benefit, and that he’s taking care of us and guiding us all through the hard times. but how can u say they are all good?
