The TRUTH about husbands

I'm a Christian man, and I can say without a doubt that Rabbi Manis Friedman is purely wise. You can't make this wisdom up -- it can only come at old age. Thank you for freely and calmly sharing your wisdom to us, Rabbi.

I'm not a religious person, but every time I listen to one of your videos, my perspective on the world and relationships completely shifts. So many connections are made, and I learn things I was never taught when I was younger. It's truly a pleasure. Thank you!

For years I kept telling my partner look, I don’t need you, I want you. I’m here by choice. I thought that was more powerful. It might have been for a giver, but if a man is a reciever it will not be reciprocated well. Now I understand I was needing him to step up and be a man, to which he choose being a child. I did need a man but not the material things he provided.

If you approach marriage as a power negotiation, don't be surprised when it plays out as a power struggle.

“The only way to maintain respect is through modesty.” 👍🏼

This is absolutely true. I have seen so many men I know either in miserable marriages or divorced due to a "strong woman" that doesn't feel like she needs anyone

There is very little true, unadulterated, devoted and pure love in the world. This precious gift is very rare. Passion is usually called love.

Finally! I found sanity Clarity And wisdom.

I feel maintaining respect is about seeing the best in each other. In difficulty do not assume the worst. I try to see my mates perspective in a positive light and if i cannot do that I think of 5 things I am grateful for that he brings into my life. I must admit I really appreciate how much he really is a man. He is willing to be kind and thoughtful and still plan and take charge. He asks me what I want and is not afraid to offer help. I do make an effort to ask him to do the things that I really want. He likes fixing things and putting things together. I could do it but I like that he would rather do it so I receive it and I let him know that I appreciate his contributions. I thank God every day he is in my life. I feel I make his life better and he makes my life better. Respect is important to him and it is important to me that he can see I respect him. He is truly a blessing.

Thank you. I was with a man who was like this, happy to be reactive but not proactive or willing to genuinely include me in his life. Awful, sad & complicated. It’s nice for me to watch this and see that my instincts are correct and how I can have more confidence in myself and not step into masculine energy when he doesn’t know what to do. If he doesn’t know what to do, let that be apparent and ok and awkward. I don’t have to fill that vacuum. The willingness to do gives the ability to do.

thank you for your common sense and clarity. my wife and i do not understand how couples enter into marriage and maintain "seperate" lives (bank accounts, friends, and even faiths) expecting the marriage to be happy, fulfilling, and lasting.

I love this rabbi. He speaks sound doctrine. ❤❤❤❤❤

Love is a heavenly plant and it must be nurtured and developed. Loving hearts, truly loving words,

Wow. This was deep. You had me at the first sentence. ❤ Thank you for sharing.

This man gets it. Wise words.

Please post part 2 about how to maintain respect after the other person becomes predictable!

God gave us the rule of marriage we can follow as a woman (wife) & as a man (Husband) responsibilities of marriage life, in a way that doesn't hurt both parties when they live together. The secret of marriages is very huge. We need to understand about marriage responsibilities before marriage. Otherwise, it will be fragile after honeymoon.

This is clarifying and true in so many ways

Most men run from women who are in need of

Very powerful solid and to the point marriage advice Rabbi! Loved this!
