Doesn't Anyone Blush Anymore?

Whether you are currently married, contemplating a marriage, or just wanting to learn God's meaning of marriage, life, intimacy, soulmates, etc., this book is a must-read for you! His unique approach to these and his wit and wisdom, make his books a real pleasure to read! Don't miss the sequel "Creating A Life ThatMatters" another must-read for knowing what to do to make your life worthy for not only yourself but all of mankind!!!

Based on Jewish teachings, but perfect for anyone who wants to figure out what a relationship is supposed to be and how to achieve it. This is the real deal and not for those who are looking for a fast easy fix. REAL relationships take real work and maturity. Rabbi spells this out pretty plainly. Its not about you, it is about the other person. This is such and important book because the culture says "I" am important. When two capital "I"s get married, there is conflict because each wants to be the center, and obviously there can't be two centers. The tough truth is if you can't forget about what you want, what you like and how you feel, you are not ready for a relationship. Giving is the key to happiness, when each are giving to the other instead of taking from the other, you have a beautiful relationship and can build a beautiful home. Most people are lonely in this culture because they are self-centered, this book shows the way to become part of something bigger and better and never be lonely again. Well worth the money and time to read it. Timeless wisdom.

The chapters on Modesty alone is worth buying this book, which is the main reason I purchased it. Christian preachers who like to run off at the mouth about fornication and pre-marital sex need to understand that these things are a result of a lack of modesty and inner harmony.Keep in mind, this guy is Jewish, and so if you're a Christian you may take issue with some of the things he writes, especially if you strongly believe in Christ-Like headship and submission. I kept that in mind as I came across some of the things that tended to be a bit egalitarian and feminist-like, which is somewhat contrary to some of the instructions given by the Apostles concerning husbands and wives.But the book is extremely insightful and straight forward about the decline of equanimity and personal harmony that effects our interpersonal relationships..

This book had such a powerful effect on me that I have been urging everyone I know to read it. There are some spectacularly powerful ideas here, that could make a huge difference to the lives of so many people. For example, read what he says about loving without judgement. If you haven't read the book, that will sound either impossible or unwise and certainly not something that will improve your own life and how you yourself feel--and yet that is precisely what it has done for me. There are so many very powerful, important ideas here. A couple of the chapters did not resonate with me but the price of the book would be well worth it even for any one of the many chapters chapters that do resonate.

Rabbi Friedman has a good grasp of why we are having problems in our relationships. Page by page he peels apart our rocky interactions with spouses and carefully explains how to fix them, all the while leading us back to our relationship with God. And he does it in a way that engages us in the path to healthy marriages. A must read, in my opinion.

Very good, except the author subscibe to the secular Humanist definition of love as emotion. In Deut. 6 : Moses said, Hear O Israel. . .love the LORD your G-d with all your mind, heart and strength . . . G-d is love and he who abides in love abides in G-d & G-d in him.

I personally am a Christian so I don't share any deep knowledge of judaism, but the principles and thinking is sound. I don't think it's a bible of relationships, but this book together with other books can complete a puzzle of how a good marriage and family should work. Four or five stars I would give it since it is a part of the puzzle I am to complete..

One of the BEST books on Modesty, Male/ Female Relationships and Marriage ever written! Hands down!!! It's straight forward, direct, to the point and very very true. Not something most liberals would agree with. He takes what the world makes seem complicated and lays it out for us with utmost simplicity. It's a question of right and wrong. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family from all walks of life. A small book that changed my way of thought, and most definitely my life! Thank you Rabbi Friedman! =)

The book is informative and insightful and tells you how to maintain boundaries and honour those you are committed to in unexpected ways. Privacy and social shrewdness are emphasized in the book. The only issue that I have with this book is that it doesn't address in detail how to deal with truly wicked people in a way that I find to be satisfying. I do not think that turning a blind eye to an abusive partner is the proper way to safeguard yourself from harm.

The deeper understanding of what intimacy is , the understanding of modesty , these basic tools are so needed today to be able to live fully . Thank you Rabbi
