Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Billed as "the first practical, comprehensive guide that integrates research, professional marriage counseling techniques and Jewish wisdom," this book uses ancient Jewish teachings about marriage as a starting point for finding--and keeping--a mate. Aiken, a psychologist who lives in Jerusalem, opens the book with yenta-like tips on "who to be and what to look for" when searching for one's "b'shert" (intended). She then offers advice on all the details of planning a wedding, even giving suggestions on how to keep kosher in an exotic honeymoon location. But Aiken's sensible and businesslike advice does not come to an end under the marriage canopy; she is deeply concerned about divorce statistics, so the second half of the book discusses marital communication, problem-solving and the two potentially explosive issues of money and sex. Her brief chapter on how children change a marriage seems almost like an afterthought, but in all, this is a sweeping guide that lives up to its own promises.

4.0 out of 5 stars useful tips even for a non-Jewess
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2008
Lisa provides useful tips & insight, useful even for those who are not Jewish. I am Catholic. Nevertheless, her approach to a healthy *as opposed to unhealthy* use of dating/courting reeks of wisdom. I really appreciate her strong moral stances against sex outside of marriage and cohabitation. I also find the traditional relationship (with flexiblity based on situation) here, and find it more practical and flexible than some of the popular stuff out there (i.e, the Sex in the City approach vs. the other extreme, the doormat Surrendered Single approach)..

I passed this book along to a friend with marriage difficulties. They are not only doing phenomenally now, but have passed the book along to other friends with tangible results after a week.
