Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
About Rabbi Manis Friedman: World-renowned author, counselor, lecturer and philosopher, Rabbi Manis Friedman uses ancient wisdom and modern wit as he captivates audiences around the country and the world. Rabbi Friedman started an organization called “It’s Good to Know” which reaches thousands of people every month through his online classes and events. (Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories and examples.) In this episode, Rabbi Manis Friedman and Dr. Jessica Higgins discuss: Functional marriages versus intimate marriages. Love doesn’t bond you, it separates you, because love is a personal experience. The difference between sex and intimacy. The harm of pornography and its pervasiveness in society. The essence of marriage is giving and receiving. Addressing tension points to build intimacy and trust. Only getting married if you believe in marriage and are in it forever. What home should feel like, regardless of moods. "The thing that is ruining marriages today is love – love has become toxic, and love cannot hold a relationship together, it wasn’t meant to. Being in love does not mean you’re in a good relationship, it means you found some pleasure in your life." — Rabbi Manis Friedman Mentioned: Twitter: @ManisFriedman Facebook: Rabbi Manis Friedman Website: ItsGoodToKnow.org Instagram: @rabbimanisfriedman Books: The Joy of Intimacy: A Soulful Guide to Love, Sexuality, & Marriage & Doesn’t Anyone Blush Anymore?

My guest today is Rabbi Manis Friedman. Sourced in Hasidic Judaism and Kabbalah, we discussed his book: "The Joy of Intimacy: A Soulful Guide to Love, Sexuality & Marriage". He's featured on CNN, A& E, Rolling Stone, Seventeen, PBS, and BBC Worldwide. Find him at: thejoyofintimacy.com
The Joy of Intimacy: A Soulful Guide to Love, Sexuality, and Marriage with Rabbi Manis Friedman We all crave intimacy. It's essential to our emotional and spiritual health, and without it we don't feel whole. Yet today our culture faces an intimacy crisis. Many of us, even when we're in a committed relationship, still feel painfully alone. One by one, The Joy of Intimacy exposes the myths about love, sex, and intimacy that separate rather than bring us together and shows how to overcome the greatest obstacles to a healthy intimate relationship. You'll explore secrets to preserving your natural spontaneity, setting the mood for intimacy, and making your bedroom a sacred space. You'll also learn how to increase your sensitivity to the sacred experience of oneness that has the power to transform every aspect of your marriage and nourish all those around you.
