Reply To: The Post-Shidduch Crisis

The November 4 issue of mishpacha had an interview with Rav Dovid Weinberger Shlit”a. As someone who is involved with dealing with much of the community’s issues, he is someone who knows the deal with what’s causing the divorce crisis. He lists:

1. Internet- people MUST have it filtered.

2. Untznius workplaces which affect the men in ways the women just don’t realize.

3. Cellphone-crackberry addiction- the woman gets the impression his Crackberry is more important to him than she is.

4. Couples eating out together and going on joint vacations together.

Many people were unimpressed when I mentioned that my Rosh Hayeshiva ZT”L would recommend against couples eating out together or being frequent guests. It appears that this really IS a significant cause of divorce in our community
