(60) "Happy Wife, Happy Life"?

from Intimate Judaism · host Talli Rosenbaum and Rabbi Scott Kahn

Many contemporary how-to guides to Jewish marriage in the Orthodox world encourage husbands to shoulder full responsibility for their wives' happiness at the expense of their own. In the yeshiva world this is known as  "being mevater."  Though teaching young  men to be unconditionally kind and respectful to their wives sounds progressive, Rabbi Scott Kahn and Talli Rosenbaum discuss the potential problems with this approach.
