The Torah attitude towards intimacy see Torah Teachings about Intimacy and What Sex is Permitted.
Why is family failing? Why are the majority of Americans not married? Why do one half of first marriages end in divorce? Why did the Fatherhood Commission headed by Vice President Al Gore find that American men don't want fatherhood, that marital childbearing is declining, and that white women doubled the rate of nonmarital births in recent years? We provide the Theory of Unrelativity, and the role of TV in the consuming of the American family.
See our article Family is Fun. It describes how the searching of pleasure conflicts with one's dedication to family. This effects families and leads to pulling instead of giving. It also leads to less children in the Western world. This produces momentous effects, from delayed pensions to racial tensions.
We offer an online book on Jewish Gender, Marriage and Sexuality. At this point we have three segments completed. Segment One is deeper ideas of gender and marriage, and Segment Two is about women. Segment Three is about sexuality and marriage. Segment Six is about Sexuality and Intimacy. (Further contents are on the home page.) We have recently added what sex is permitted? This includes also the question of what a spouse must do.
In addition, we have an ongoing battle with the secular culture about the denigration of women. The major battle takes place on our other website, Gendercentral.com, where we battle the Gay Lobby and secular sexuality and gender. But we bring some articles here in our discussions of marriage. An example is A Tortured Woman, about the wife of the mayor, written just after the Twin Tower Bombing.
We also discuss divorce, such as a letter to someone divorcing.
The desperate situation professional women face as men refuse to tie the knot is described in Woe to Women: Ruined Men.
