Dating, Marriage, & the Male-Femail Dynamic

Rabbi Mati Miller

From a Jewish perspective, dating is not a recreational sport; it is reserved solely for those mature and serious enough to be looking for their life-long partner. Of course it can be fun. But whether you’re 20 or 90, the fun is merely part of the means towards reaching the goal – marriage. With an understanding of soul mates, a working model of love, and the goal of marriage in mind, dating takes on a whole new look. In this class we will explore the male-female relationship and how Jewish guidelines in this sphere shape how dating can become more meaningful and fulfilling. We will also gain insight and tools to help discover and marry one’s ezer k’negdo – soul mate. In doing so, we will explore the following questions: š What is Judaism’s attitude toward sexual desire? š What stance does Judaism take on intimate physical relationships before marriage? š How can we best maintain our objectivity and avoid the emotional turmoil of dating? š How can we prepare ourselves to date for marriage?
