Rabbi Lawrence Kelemen
Why it’s Important to Talk About MarriageIt’s so important for us to speak about how to date, how to get married, because it’s something that our educational system has really abandoned, something that they’ve ignored. In the high school textbooks, the little bit of information we get about dating and marriage is all about how to stay physically healthy during dating and marriage. You’ll find a lot of material about venereal disease and how to avoid it, but not necessarily information about how to make a relationship go “click”. The people who teach those courses, they’re usually gym teachers who are saddled with one extra responsibility, who don’t really know anything about relationships. And all the information they can give over is what’s in the text, which is skeletal at best. It’s very, very important for people to seek out expert advice.Let’s start then from the beginning. How does a person know when he or she is ready to get married? I’ve found that these Orthodox Jews, they have an unusual definition of love. And their definition of love completely alters their definition of marriage, meaning that their definition of love and marriage is not like our mainstream Western definition of love and marriage. I’ll explain.
Love as GivingThere’s a Hebrew word which is often translated as “love”. It is the Hebrew word for love, but I don’t think it means the same thing that we in the West mean when we say “love”. The Hebrew word is ahava. Ahava is… the word hav conjugated. Hav means “to give”. Ahav is “I will give”. Ahava is the state of “I will giveness”, |
