I good you can okay so I want to start
this is definitely not going to work for
me okay does anyone want to unle this
while the whole
she sweetheart thank you very much okay
I want to start with a story everybody
ready okay so the governor of Texas is
driving down the interstate right he's
driving and his wife is there and he's
been governor for quite some time but
they never took a vacation so now
they're on vacation and they're driving
down the freeway whenever he runs out of
gas he pulls off the freeway and he goes
into a little you know uh he actually
full he needed some oil so they went to
a full service gas station out comes a
guy and he walks around and he comes to
the window and the governor puts in his
order and his wife who had been talking
animatedly and been you know all bubbly
the whole vacation right they're driving
across Texas the wife starts picking at
her shoes and she's got her head down
like this the entire time they're in the
gas
station so they get back on the
freeway and the governor says to her let
me ask you something you're so sweet for
doing this thank can you hear you can
hear and do it send multitasking okay so
he said let me ask you
something before we were married you
were engaged someone else weren't you
and she said yeah yeah right we talked
about it and he said let me guess
something
else that guy who came and waited on us
that was your former fiance wasn't it
and she says wow spot on it absolutely
was and the governor says let me ask you
something else you're sitting there
thinking oh my goodness if I had married
that guy I'd now be the wife of a
gasoline attendant in in the PO Texas
right isn't that what you're thinking
dear and she says no no actually that's
not what I was thinking he said what
were you
thinking and she says I was thinking my
goodness if I had married that man he
would now be the governor of
Texas okay so what I'm going to teach
you tonight is look we're Yen right
we're Jewish people the governor of
Texas is a tiny fresh because the
governor of Texas only the governor of
protect us while he's alive we have the
potential with our sholom BAS mission
right we have the the the ability as a
Jew to not only affect our
husband's his world the world today
where he is the physical world but also
for eternity we're I'm going to teach
you that one I was telling one of the
ladies back here I said you know you've
got you got the whole book right
marriage Secrets it's 220 Torah sources
how do you stand on one foot right and
take and teach it in one hour but I want
you guys to Boom to have the Mur so I
have I figured out a way to do it it
works you will know it by the by the
time you leave here but the first thing
I to I want to point out is very very
critical because you you can pour all
you want if you have a full GL mug of of
tea and you keep pouring and pouring
it's going to spill it's just going to
spill out people can't hear what you're
saying however if you show them and they
pour it out themselves you can pour it
in so I'm going to show you how to pour
out these preconceived things and this
is this
what is the market near you guys what's
the one everyone shops
in what's it called Bingo I like Bingo
that's cute okay Bingo okay you walk
into Bingo right first woman you see
you're like oh hi nice to meet you um do
me a favor can you please tell me what
is our Mur for shavas like oh uh you
need candles you need Chillin you need
Hala she'll talk to your for two hours
right now you say okay fine fine what is
our M for cachous say oh uh you you need
milk and you need meat and this heer is
terrible and this one's great two hours
she'll talk to you now you ask her what
is our
M for
shom she
like there's a sing next ey I got to go
and she will not know the answer to that
question that is the single most
important thing for her own happiness
it's the single most important thing for
her husband's happiness it's the single
most important thing for their and am I
right right hello right yeah yeah right
that's the most important thing and we
don't so the first question is like wow
I tell this to wom I had spoke at ders
there 600 St them and they you're right
you're
right what what how can this be so what
we're trying to do is we we're on a
mission to give our masora back to every
single Jew in CRA I'm a full-time
volunteer I in fact it costs me money to
do this you know where our whole mission
is to have get the Mur back so what what
we the way we do that is we train
coaches we give have a six Monon very
brutal you know intense course and I
hope some of you in this room will say
that's for me I want to help I want to
be part of the solution and that
six-month course um uh it's it's a
coaching you end up with a coach and you
end up become oh thank you yay a round
of applause y thank you okay so you end
up with a whole um uh this is really
kind of fun oh I can jump rope um so
they have you you end up with a complete
understanding of the Mur and then you
teach it to others that's the only way
we can do it I can't do it myself going
around the world and teaching in the
store one standing on one foot one time
time one person at a time so um but now
here's what I want to tell you is that
if you are in the grocery store and
again this is I'm giving you the
footnotes now the cliff notes if you are
in that store and some you what's her
Mur for shalomay the answer is standing
one foot the husband is the giver and
the wife is the receiver okay we're
going to go into a little bit of detail
of that I'm going to go move very very
quickly I hope you guys have your strap
your seat belt time because we're going
to move back quick so now I flew to
Philadelphia um about a decade ago and I
said Ral
ketki the gone in the rosasa in Phil
Philly and I said to him
believe that the aod of our generation
is shom BAS and I said Mrs richer what
exactly is your source for this and I
said I was kind of hoping that the
rashash Shiva would be my source for
this I I said people are chasing after
modesty they're chasing chasing after
Kad and addictions and and you know
million and sne and lanara they we're
chasing after all these things perhaps
if we took care of shom Bas that that
would solve all the other problems in C
Anda said to me Mrs richheimer you need
to teach this to as many women as
possible one candle should light many
candles and you guys are the candles
okay so okay um I just want to start how
let me tell you what's going to happen
I'm going to give you the
five parts of our Mur so B basically
this one has this is Arts world book has
came out with oh and this is this is my
new book actually this is the say fair
and this other one and I'm making no
money all my royalties all of it is
donated for help give people shom shom
Bas uh education um oh well anyway
that's that that one the marriage
Secrets is 220 sources this is the
workbook for that kind of you know and
they both stand on their own feet
however what I want to tell you is
tonight I was thinking how can I get
this in your head in one hour so I
narrowed it down to the five sort who
knows flowcharts what you know like this
car you know what I'm saying like this
subject I'm going to give you is covers
all those eight subjects and this CH
those four so that's what we're going to
do tonight I'm going to start with
something very very important which is
to understand the lies in the secular
world that we've been brainwashed for
with myself included okay brain oh
hi wow okay long time old prank okay um
we're going to we're going to start with
the four lies that um the secular world
has brainwashed us with and then I'm
going to give you the five things that
you can walk home with okay so fine I'm
going to start with a
Lies by the way um you everybody has an
index card so how this works is you have
an index card to write a question on and
we want everybody to write answer ask a
question because at the end I'm going to
take questions and if you let's say only
one of you let's say you only you had a
question right so you come up and I read
the question then everybody in the whole
room knows you're asking the question
not good so what we do is we have
everyone write a question if you do not
have a question you just write Leia I
don't like your shael or I love your
your eyebrows whatever you know
something like that okay so every
everyone's going to turn and index card
in that way we keep it that's actually
from reiton T ketki sham R sh's wife who
uh was I was very close with and she
helped me with all these guidelines
okay the four lies I'm going to start
with the first lies the first lie and I
I made it really easy for you I'm into
these things like matches whatever so l
i e s l is the first one and then you
know each of them so you can remember
them so the first lie is the LIE of
later l a t e r the live later so in the
secular World in every advertisement
you've ever seen since the day of you
were born right they try and get you to
buy something by what by saying you're
going to be happier later when you get
the house you want when you get the car
you want when your husband starts doing
things your way when your kids do better
in school later you're going to be happy
so this is the LIE of later that runs
our life we can never sort of be where
we are when we're there we're always
like that time is going to be better oh
if I only did once this gets finished
when this juo list gets finished then
I'll be Satisfied to happen so the LIE
of later guess what keeps us from
savoring our
lives and the main thing to understand
is
that as yiden we are
exactly exactly where Hashem wants us
right now like whatever you're dealing
with whatever stuff you is annoying you
right now or you're like oh I had to
make it to this year but my son is this
and that happened and I got this
terrible email and whatever you know all
of this stuff floats around it says y to
not being able to let you be where you
are when you are and when you're there
and that is what it diminishes our
satisfaction in life and the the the
I'll just give you another standing on
for concept which is that the way to
slow your life down and the way to be
able to savor your life and this is not
Le Rich this is like K is to connect
with people and it's almost the last
thing we do because there's a balance
between um connecting an in what's it
called like one goes up and one goes
down what's that called a an inverse
relationship thank you okay I thought a
inverse relationship between a
connecting and accomplishing and in the
secular world world we are so driven to
accomplish that we don't we don't uh
um we feel guilty almost connected
guilty shmooing on the phone with
somebody and that is what slows your
life down just a side bit okay number uh
the I not number letter i in lies
okay the LIE of
images so that you'll be happy when your
life looks like a fairy tale we've all
been brainwashed the night and shining
armor is going to come whisking us off
you know and we're then we're going to
be happy so it's a lie of images of what
you know riding off into the sunset like
that's like the big thing every every
secular thing ends with every movie
every book every whatever they write on
and finish they never talk about the
next day when he's leaving his socks on
the pillow and when he spilled something
and he didn't put his dishes in the sink
you know that isn't included so it's a
lie of images of it should be perfect
and I just have to say I worked for a
couple of decades with single women and
I could always tell within five minutes
of talking with them whether they had
read um uh romance novels you know
secular novels you know these whatever
why because their image of like marriage
and what a husband and what they want in
a husband or whatever was so warped by
sort of brainwashed by these images that
are put in their head and then they get
a real guy who has his ups and downs and
just like they had their ups and downs
thank you you know but he's got his ups
and he's got his good points and his bad
points and they're like no no no not for
me not for me so uh the live images okay
number um uh letter e thank you not
number letter e so um who organized this
are you guys back you didn't hand out
eggs to anybody right no eggs no there's
no eggs no tomatoes nothing nothing's
going to be thrown at me so I can go on
speak okay the
LIE the LIE of
equality the LIE of equality for the
last 50 years we have been
told that equality in marriage is he
better it is a it is broken it's
bankrupt it's a total
fail so what we're trying to do is we're
trying to shift from a from the equality
based marriage to a Torah based marriage
that's what we're trying to make the
shift and the LIE of equality is that
your if your husband does the equal
amount of work around the house that
your decisions are made equally that you
both Maat into the same amount of times
that that that
um what we have to understand as Jews if
you chase
equality you chase away
Shalom there's something far more
powerful than equality and that is a
level of connection that is available by
following the Torah guidelines for
marriage which I'm going to give into
and I'm going to give you all them and
you're going to first and then you're
like oh that sounds like that would work
oh W hm and then people who've been
heard me or watched the ladies talk show
or read the book whatever they're like
it's it's it's mindboggling it actually
works and so I'm you know we are going
I'm going to teach you stuff and I'm
going to teach you stuff and you're
going to say hm you know I really think
that uh you know that's the right thing
to do what you
saying why should I you know what I'm
going to show you tonight is that the
right the way the Torah based um uh
marriage the way that Hashem design it
is all to your benefit okay you we'll
see we'll go as we get into okay the
last thing I want to talk about is s
which is the last thing is the LIE of
stuff the getting you getting what that
get sorry that getting will make you
happy okay the LIE of stuff only giving
makes us happy getting material stuff
your husband doing things for you
getting your way when we when when all
of us first got engaged we wanted what
what can I do for you dear can I make
you cookies can I make you dinner can I
blah blah blah blah right and then after
we're married three months can you give
me this and why aren't you doing that
for me and you know it's looking to get
and when you have a husband trying to
get from his wife and a wife trying to
get from his husband from the husband
you end up with a get okay that's a joke
okay so now here's the thing I want to
just I want to prove this to you so who
likes to shop for
clothes okay fine okay what what's your
favorite color blue blue and sorry
what's your name dor d'vorah okay so
d'vorah you're walking down the street
and you're just mosing along excuse me
you see this this sign whatever and in
the window you said it was blue yep a
blue moh hair sweater absolutely
gorgeous like it feels like Silk but
it's actually moh hair and it's got I
don't know I'm making this up maybe I'm
totally out of style don't tell on me
okay anyway it's got pearls around the
thing and it's got a neck thing what you
look at this is the most gorgeous
sweater in the whole world you go in and
you and you're standing there and the
the lady says oh yeah you can try it and
she takes it off the mannequin and she
puts it on you and you look in the
mirror and you just like okay who's
going home with me I don't care how much
is it and she says oh it's on sale for
$4,800 you carefully gingerly you take
it off and you hand it back to her
fine every day you're walking back and
forth you go to the grocery you see the
shop it's still hanging in the window
all this time finally a month later you
see a big sign saying huge blowout sale
come in you're like uh and it's not the
window anymore and so you go around and
you go inside and you look and you look
and no it's not there it's not there
finally on the last rack on the last
place you see it there and it's got a
price tag on it and it's
$34 you are could followed Beyond Beyond
you can't even believe it you put it on
and you just feel like a million dollars
and you come outside of the thing right
and you're sitting there you're waiting
for Uber to go home or a friend is
picking you up or whatever and on the
Park Bench there is a a lady who's
wearing you know it's middle winter
she's wearing a summer dress with no
shoes and next to her is a little
girl who's shivering like this she's
Frozen her F to her toes and there you
are standing with your new
sweater you got that sweater and you put
it on her and she looks up with you and
she jumps off the bench the park bench
and she grabs your leg and she's crying
in tears or streaming down her face and
she's saying thank you thank you so much
so the question then your friend comes
and drives you away the question is is
getting that sweater which PL pleasure
is going to last you the rest of your
life that little girl's hug when you
gave or the getting that sweer in the
first place so this is a shift we want
to take in terms of understanding the
whole world is trying to get us to get I
want to get this and I need that and IAH
blah and where the uh the Eternal
spiritual growth is and where our
satisfaction in life comes from is in
giving okay all right let's start with
whoa let's start with a five
things
okay
so okay so I actually have I like cute
things because they're easier to
remember and I want you guys to be able
to when leave here tonight I want you to
have a um sorry I want you to have an
understanding of the um I want you be
able to stand on and be able to expain
oh I need somebody here a
okay here we go okay this is we're going
to start I'm going to give you the can
you hear me I'm going to give you the
five
things that um will bring the
go okay and and I'll start with actually
a story uh quick story so when when um I
was very close as I mentioned with rbson
tamy ketki who's R's uh wife I all show
she's about a year and a half ago
um but anyway I taught a class in her
house um and I did half of it I taught
the the mission for you know that we
were on for shom to get every person to
know what the shom m is and the other
part I taught on marriage and at the end
can I borrow your hands just put your
hands like this so at the end she goes
like this and she tooks takes both my
hands like this and she looks me in the
eyes she such a hold lady she me eye and
she says Leia you realize that your
mission for Sha is is going to bring the
Goa you realize that don't you and I
said oh how that's she said no no no you
don't understand your mission for sha
Bas is going to bring the G amen amen so
I'm going to teach you now that see I
made it easy for you to remember G so if
you're thinking what's her what's her sh
bias stor again you know somebody stops
you at being you know someone stops you
why is it doing that where's Robbie okay
hello love love okay when when um you
can just remember it's G so I'm going to
start with the first one being grateful
and there different than maybe what you
might have heard in the
past
so Rao gives over that all comes from sh
through the husband and to the wife that
means that all braa every braa in your
life your beautiful furry coat and your
orange sweater and your um oh what's
that nice pretty pin that pin everything
that you own and everything that you
have is from your husband so I went
to to Asher in in erell he was actually
in LA and I met with him and I said I
said a woman can wake up and she's doing
vzas all day she's bringing her kids to
school she's you know go uh doing H get
making food for a sick lady up the
street you're and he's the bro is from
him and he he said our m is that what
all the Mitzvah and everything a woman
does goes up to shmay but she can't
access it unless it's through her
husband that all brothera is sourced
through her husband now the the the bad
news is it's like wait that's not fair
okay if we're looking to be fair right
that's the bad news the good news is now
that you know how the spiritual World
works this is Richer's idea this is K
okay now that you know how the spiritual
World works it gives you access to bring
more braa into your home that's the good
news right okay so for
grateful you have to know since Adam
Anda walk the face of the Earth back way
back when okay Hashem has created a has
created Braha for you like it's since
since it turn
Hashem has created a certain amount of
BR you guys have Costco here or Target
Costco is like huge right like yeah okay
so if you can visualize standing in
Costco and then multiply it by like five
or 10 that's the amount of bra that
Hashem has for you it mean and by bra
means parasa it means ra it means your
kid does well in school it means that
you know untenable situation and you
can't forgive someone and they can
apologize you know
all the things that you would want in
your home all the things you'd want in
your life that braa is brought over from
that that is available to you and that
was created since Adam Anda lived in so
how do you access that BR that's what
I'm going to tell you right now now
we're going to double the price of the
admission to the thing it's pretty good
okay
so one of my students Sarah said that
she worked two jobs and managed the
household and kids she ran everything
her husband had been out of worked for 2
years and I told her that all braa comes
from her husband and she's like that's
for everybody else ain't for me I said
I'm telling you right now the all the
the that you have a job that you have
two jobs and that your kids are have a
school to go to and that you have the
clothes that you have to wear even
though he pays for everything and so
forth right that's all from the braa
from your husband there's no other
interpretation you guys looked at the S
I've got the sources in here in the
footnotes if you look at the you're like
yeah there's really no alternative thing
they this is crazy but here's what the
understanding of that simple truth
allows a woman to do when Sarah truly
internalized this deep truth she started
treating her husband with more respect
right because he was the one who gave
her all the
BR her attitude her whole attitude
shifted towards her husband instead of
thinking he's a good for nothing bum
he's just sit on the couch and pretends
to look for a job it's like oh all the
bras she started treating him with
respect and this is a very true story
after his 2 years of unemployment when
she made this shift I think it was
within four months I I got the email in
four months so maybe it happened at 3
months I don't know but it said that
that her um oh yeah and then I'll give
you the action step that her husband got
a job and he got a very good job um he
had been uh well maybe it's not
important I'm afraid of might say
something that divulges who she is but
anyway uh so the point is that when a
woman makes that shift in her own mind
and that is what can alter the whole
amount of Braha that comes into your
home and all the Costco braa can come to
your home and what the the action step
for being
grateful is thanking your husband 10
times more than you currently are that's
it it's super e easy ladies and if you
talk to people who who' taken classes
with me they're like yeah okay Le M fine
fine and then they go do it and they're
like oh wow like the closeness that's
available in that in the marriage
relationship when the wife understands
this deep truth okay
um okay the way a woman gives to her
husband is by receiving from him that's
an important side point okay let me go
to the next
one okay so you're thanking the the
action step ungrateful is thanking your
husband 10 times more okay ready for the
next one tell me when I got the I can't
see what I'm doing it has the e what
does it say can remember what I'm saying
okay empowerment okay empowerment so the
what we have to think about is that for
the last 50 years women have been sold a
bill of goods and that is that we need
control of course you want control like
why wouldn't you want control contr like
you know the the every movie every
social media everything is like we
should be in control of everything we
should control our kids we should
control our husband we should control
our staff we should control our our home
and what's going on in our home you know
control seems the
ultimate uh quality that a person should
have and the bill of goods that we've
been sold we've been sold that we need
control and women need something far far
more important and that is
connection and
closeness and the only way to get
connection and closeness is to give up
control so you guys are a capable Bunch
right I'm sure all everybody here can
like if I if I were to tell any of you
you got 10 guests for Shas sorry they're
coming you know the CH whatever you guys
we we're so thect we're so good at
running our lives that it's very hard to
to think like how can I give them
control but here's the thing if you the
the the source I'm going take time to
but the source basically is this that
the braa from comes from the um Ming so
let's say for instance what what's a
good car and what's a bad car what's a
good car I I don't know cars whatever I
I know carburetor I know the word I
don't know what it is but who what like
a a Prius right that gets good mileage
good gas mileage yeah no I don't know no
one knows it's so funny okay go ask the
guys out there okay but the um so let's
say you bought you have a Prius right
it's got great Gras mileage and then you
have an escort and that's also an
electric car just pretend it is okay so
you go to this your husband wants to buy
the esort you're like uh excuse me dear
you know like that I looked on Google
and it said that the Prius has much
better gas Mage it's got a much better
track record got this he goes yeah but I
want to escort and you're like we're not
getting an escort I'm sorry you know
it's ridiculous so here's what happens
if the
woman grabs control from her husband
right he's the captain of the ship but
now she's like elbowing him away okay
and now she's taking over and she's
driving the ship right if she does that
the they will buy the Prius because
she's going to put her foot down and
take control and they'll buy the Prius
it'll be the first lemon Prius on the
history of the unit United States
whatever if on the other hand she M and
lets him have control and he decide they
decide to buy the escort which is a
wrong literally it's the wrong decision
don't sue me escort I don't know what
I'm I don't I'm just making using it as
an example but it will be that escort
will be the first escort to go 400,000
miles why because braa follows
Shalom so for this one for empowerment
it means recognizing that there's so
many things we want to have control very
very you know we're we're you know must
me included you know we want to have
control and the moment you give up that
control so the homework for this one is
let go just say okay well you want to
buy the escort fine okay so that's
that's um empowering okay the next one
is
you understanding
so understanding is understanding your
own needs this is not understanding your
husband that's lovely but that's not the
core value we want I want to teach
tonight if I were to say let's say I
took notebooks and I handed out these
big what are those ones with the
chemistry you know those big five what
are they called five yeah five star yeah
those big fat things and I handed every
one of the everybody got one pink
colored purple whatever you like okay
and I ended up and I said okay now got
ladies write down what you want
everything you want like everything yeah
everything you'd write down I want new
shael I want my husband to stop putting
me down in front of my mother-in-law I
want you know a new couch I want you
know what you you would basically fill
the entire book and you come back and
say um Mrs rich is okay can I have
another notebook okay that's how it
wants okay now if I took a index card
someone hold up an index card little
yeah okay little hold the way up a
little index card and said okay ladies
all I want you to do is write me down
what your needs are just what you what
you need and you'll be like um um Leia
can I do this for homework later and
You' never do it so the question is a
lot of women come to me say Le well my
husband just doesn't meet my needs and
I'm like can I ask you a question I'm
like yeah I'm like
do you know what your needs
are like how do we expect our husband to
meet our needs when we ourselves don't
know what they
are so here's the thing here's the
powerful powerful
thing is that if you can get clear
Clarity on your own needs right right
now we treat our husbands like a vending
machine you want him to you know bring
you flowers and you want him and he
didn't say the right thing to the kids
and he did you know you're just like
throwing throwing and throwing more than
me too hello thank you you know you're
throwing more and more demands on him
because you you've got your needs and
your wants all
completely conflated is that the right
wordo what what's what's the
word what confounding confounding
intertwined whatever they're just mushed
on top of each other right so they're
mushed on top of each other and so you
don't know what you want so you demand
your wants and needs and here's the
beauty of doing this exercise if you
gain Clarity on what your needs
are your ability to get those needs met
has just increased by
10,000% so the work to do this to
understand your own needs is get that
Notebook write down everything all your
wants and needs because right now
they're jumble in your head in all of
our heads you know they just call a mush
together you write them down write them
down write them down you make make 10
pages of wants and needs and then you go
through and say you know what now you're
going to differentiate which ones are
your needs which ones are your wants and
you s you know I know I want a trip to
the Bahamas but that's unrealistic and
it's going to cost a lot of money it
means I won't be able to get the new
dishwasher I want okay you cross that
one off and you go through and you're
Crossing off and Crossing off and things
that are real de deep need I'll give you
an example I had a woman who wanted
chers flowers from her husband she was
very annoyed cuz sometimes he'd bring
him but so many times for off you know
and she would she would go into shabas
with this anger at him and this
annoyance and like whatever and when she
did this exercise she's like you know
why I want chabas flowers cuz all of my
sisters-in-law get them what I really
need is my husband she she was a nervous
you know she had um is that a panic
disorder whatever a mild panic disorder
whatever she would get all worked up and
nervous and she'd call her husband she
says I'm at work I can't do anything for
you you know and this would hurt her
deeply so what she said to him I'll tell
you what I will never ask you for shabas
flowers
anymore but the once a month or every
other month when I'm having a anxiety
day you drop whatever you're doing and
answer the phone and talk to
me he agreed he was like and I don't
have to bring flowers anymore like I
don't have to go to the other you know
stopping right before sh you're not
going to be mad at me every sh it's like
Hello this has been going on for 10
years so once a woman understands what
her needs
are she can actually get the Met okay
very
good okay the next one is
loyal how do I do this did it show loyal
okay good
okay
loyalty makes our husband trust us and
feel safe with us like nothing else we
can
do I'll give you examples of loyalty so
don't
worry loyalty will endear your husband
to you more than anything so I want to
start actually with a
quiz Okay who wants who wants to take a
little quiz it's not embarrassing maybe
I know I don't think okay good okay so
here's the thing your husband is a
terrible driver okay he just he doesn't
drive well he's always all weaving over
the street but even as bad a driver as
he is he's a worst Parker so like he'll
park on the street he'll be like three
feet from the thing his car will be
sticking up there you know the head the
bumper the whatever he just e can't park
he
go and he never gets it right okay you
come
home and your husband's car obviously is
parked like the the front of the car is
like sticking out into the street and
you you see on the back thing somebody
had taken their finger and uh scratched
into the dust on the back of the car it
says learn to park you
idiot the quiz is what do you
do WIP it out you wipe it out W she
already won
W yeah see I would say you know you post
it on the family chat that's the first
thing I would no but the issue is that
that why explain to me why would you
wipe it
out you've been fighting him for for 10
years you've been on his case about it
and finally someone agreed with you and
there it was right
there OT you at least I would write out
idiot what do you think ladies what's
the right thing to do huh it's not nice
it's not nice but now finally some what'
you say it's valid it's not nice it's
not I
know it's embarrassing it's not it's
validating but not nice like the loyalty
card like you could say it but somebody
else can't call that it's like a joke
about your mother but nobody else can
say except for you yeah that's right did
you hear can you hear in joke about your
mom no one else can say but you right so
the issue oh yeah go ahead okay so I
think what I would do is I would call my
husband and show him and then I would
say you believe how nervy people are and
how dare they do this to you because
otherwise how's he going to know that
you were being being
loyal oh that's interesting interesting
if you erase it okay so you know you
erased it but he wouldn't know
interesting okay that's interesting okay
I'm G to give you another one okay we're
going have a quiz on a quiz I'm gonna
not going to answer that one for us okay
so your husband chooses this mouth who
who's doing this please who wants to do
it hello hello hello some you okay no no
no no yeah okay okay fine okay so your
husband he he sits there goes and you 10
years you've been like can you please I
don't want to see your tonsils while
you're eating please you now you're a
family Sia right both that the parents
are under the aunts and uncles you're at
this big huge table everybody's there
and he's he's eating like this and you
the anunt across the table from him says
whatever your husband's saying no let's
not use your the fake fictitious PL okay
turns to your husband says Pony that is
disgusting that's so gross you got to
close your you're see yes you know
somebody finally like hello maybe he'll
finally get the message so what do you
do not this not
this okay good good we're learning okay
good that would be for him it's not nice
to be called out on a bad habit right so
does anyone in the house have anything
anything they need
say any what
else would her voice is disgusting
her voice is
disgusting a family part and everybody
leaves what did you say oh a physical
fight and then there's a family fight
everybody yeah that's really a lot shom
there you go thank you right so the
issue is for of both of these cases
is loyalty means doing something that is
potentially so against what you already
like the mission that you're on on this
mission to get him to drive better you
get on this mission to get him to close
his mouth by the way the hack for if
your husband choose with his mouth open
sit on the same side of the table you
know just like sit like next to each
other instead of across from each other
just just got to say the sh answer to
that but anyway but the point is that
you have a um uh this level look loyalty
is a oldfashioned word it's an
oldfashioned concept it used to be like
thought of you know very very highly in
the world now it's like you know your
boss has did something to stand up for
what he believes in right you're like oh
I'm not agreeing with him because I'll
get fired right but it used to be in the
old days he'd be like I'm going down
with a ship he he's been good to me for
10 years I'm going down with a ship and
loyalty is posish anymore it's like
thrown out the window and I'm just
telling you right now if you want the
quickest way to bond with your
husband you erase the letters you never
tell him you hold it as your gift that
you gave your husband that he'll never
know about and for the chewing the mouth
open you say something to your oh no no
no excuse me um I actually asked my
husband to please chew with his mouth as
a wide as possible because I like to see
how much he eats and that he masticates
well on his food you know what I'm
saying this is how this is loyalty now
look you don't crazy but I'm just saying
okay fine um you look familiar do do I
know you okay you look like somebody who
I no no they're right behind you I said
oh my gosh is this somebody who no yeah
it's not you okay I just said oh because
if it was her she should made me sit for
my kids and I was like that she would be
so rude if I didn't say hello so I'd
rather embarrass you and turn your sorry
sorry about that yeah maybe I don't know
okay so fine okay so that was loyal
loyalty so here's the thing about
loyalty I'm just going to give you a
couple of examples and again I'm
spending a little longer on this one
because it's the most
important your daughter said daddy still
hasn't fixed the light bulb in my closet
disloyal would say I know same thing
with fixing the front
door the the the loyal thing to say
would be barem he works so hard for us
and is tired at night disloyal your
cooworker says my husband leaves bags of
chips all over the house and you say
yeah disloyal would be my husband leavs
half eaten food on the counter that's
disloyal loyalty would be oh that must
be frustrating and guess what by doing
that you're also St stopping her from
saying thinking you're an address to
bring Lan Hara okay next one your mother
says your husband should help you get
the kids to bed disloyalty was that I
know and I also wish he'd help in the
kitchen loyal was mom please don't put
my H husband
down end of story showing loyalty praise
your husband to your kids constantly you
cannot overdo it I have a lot of parents
you know the husband say something harsh
right cuz that's what any men know he's
back there good okay they're just harsh
right so the kid like you know uh takes
a potato off his kid's you know plate
and the father's like get get to bed go
to bed that without supper you know the
punishment doesn't fit the crime deer
and so the wife chimes in and she says
she says no no no it's okay it's okay
you can eat deer it's you know that's
not such a big deal let him let him
finish the potato you know so but here's
the issue then what what have they done
they have completely made made their
husband they've taken his complete
Authority away and when the kids become
teenagers they're all over the place cuz
there's no father there they've already
she's she's thrown them in in the lake
so this loyalty goes very very deep in
terms of your husband the answer to that
is if he says go to bed for eating
the potato whatever right let him go to
bed worst things going to happen you're
sticking by your
husband shom your child thinks seeing
that will make him H um give him it's
better that your your son or your CH
children learn that kind of um uh that
the parents are one unit then the right
thing happens or the wrong thing happens
they'll they can survive anything but
parenting but not parents being in
Discord and not having shom they can't
really they can survive but I'm just
saying they do a lot better if they're
sh so if there's ever a question in your
mind should I fight it should I not
fight it should I just let go should I
moat should I whatever just let go
because that if they have that they've
got a lesson for life that they can't
get in any other way okay good um defend
your husband if anyone ever says
anything negative about him never raise
your voice to your husband make sure
your husband knows that you have his
back at all times always make him feel
like he's the most important person in
the room okay let's go to the next one
again we're spelling this is the go this
is how we're going to bring the go
ladies okay okay
okay
attentive so
um so so okay I'm going to start with
it the issue about attentive is kind of
like um you guys all know that you have
n women had nine10 of speech you heard
that before women have n so if you use
it all on your husband you kill the poor
guy okay so get friends get sisters get
on the phone with your friends but
here's the thing the thing that is
missing in marriages and relationships n
today is the wife doesn't really listen
to the husband you know it's like the
the husband comes home and the wife just
talks to the you know she talks and
talks and he said what's new dear fine
you know how how is your day fine what's
new nothing how was the meeting with
your boss good you know that's it and
then he's it's on to what you have to
share
okay and women do not realize how
crucial listening to their husband is so
I'll tell you a story this uh one of my
students um so we I had a whole thing
they had to go home and listen to their
husband for 15 minutes 15 15 not 50 but
whatever 155 so it's Tuesday night the
class was Wednesday night and she's
sitting there trying to decide you know
uh if I come tomorrow Le will call on me
and I'll be embarrassed okay so fine so
I'm going to do the homework so she sees
her husband in the in the living room
and she goes and she sits down on the
couch and she starts you know she asks
him questions this is the key this is
the action step for this is asking your
husband questions okay so she asked her
husband questions you know she started
discussing with him what's going on fine
he ends up right talking for 1 hour and
15 minutes about his work politics and
the guys an accountant okay she said it
was so boring she had to bite the inside
of her cheek to stay awake and she was
there to listen oh yes and then what did
he say and then and he's talking about
July is they do this inventory then and
they little whatever and she's just like
please so she stands up after an hour
and 15 minutes and she's really mad
because she had a lot of emails to do
the dishes are still coagulating on the
counter and she's like that was a total
waste of time and she goes into the
kitchen and they come went to Costco
right and they had bought like these
four cases of water bottles that had
been sitting on the count next to the
counter and she kept tripping them and
she kept nagging him and nagging him for
literally two or three weeks this had
been going on she walks into the kitchen
the water bottles are brought back to
the garage she couldn't believe her eyes
and then she went to the bathroom ladies
this is a true story he had changed the
toilet paper roll it's a true story
story it's a true so the key is the key
is
listening and the key to listening is
asking
questions okay last thing I'm going to
cover um and then I'm going to give you
some we're going to do a raffle and
we're going to do um a review okay so
communication so the first thing with um
with uh communication I just I'm going
to give you a briefly I I cover this
extensively in here because that was the
biggest question that I got from women
is is how to get your husband to believe
you or to hear you or to listen to you
how do you communicate for results so
I'm going to give you this kind of a
standing on one foot version but in case
you don't have get the book or whatever
I still want you to have these tools
which is the tool is called hot
HT and the first thing is
H and H is how you say it makes all the
difference in the world it's to plan
well how you are going to how are you
going to say it to your husband and that
might take a lot of time if your husband
is driving crazy and you know parking
crazy and he said why are you parking C
you need to learn you whatever good luck
with that right how how's that working
for you right but if you were to say to
your husband you know you think about
how do I get him to do it h maybe if I
you know pay for a driver's ed class no
that would insult him maybe I'll um uh
I'll I'll uh after he pars I'll say can
I have the keys I'll rep park for you no
he'll be insulted with that maybe I'll
tell him that when um he Parks crazy
like that we but twice now someone has
clipped his mirror and we've had to pay
like $300 one time and $200 another time
I love this group they're all having a
great time over
there adorable so so the issue is that
if you if you um you think about how to
say it you can really be effective if if
you're in the middle of a fight you're
fighting no I told you that we'd be at
8:00 and it's
7:30 you're having this fight right is
there anything productive ever ever
going to come out of that conversation
hope so you hope so zero zero Chance is
going to but if he let's say he does
come at at 8:00 instead of 7:30 and
you're upset about it right you can
actually have a um impact on on him by
saying by saying okay I'm not going to
say anything now
good to see you you know even though
your Steam and the the burn dinner the
black dinner is sitting there and
whatever cuz he he he came home at the
wrong time now think about how you're
going to say it and how you're going to
say it you say okay we're both well fed
we're both well rested good luck with
finding that a time like that but anyway
you're going to have a good time and
find a good time and then you're going
to say you know maybe make a journal 10
different things you could say and then
pick the best one and say you know I
know that for you it's very frustrating
because you didn't have a choice your
boss kept you exra half an hour but from
my standpoint I had dinner burning and I
I gone to three different shops to get
chopped liver and whatever what did they
get the shw I went to this Market I went
over here I went to Bingo and I went to
all these different shops and then it's
black you know and then you give the
problem to him and you say what do you
think we can do about this in the
future and I say well you shouldn't you
know you shouldn't start dinner until I
I'm on my way or until I'm home I'm like
then you're starving for 45 minutes
that's not a good idea you hand the
problem to them again what do you think
we can do to solve it you know and
eventually hopefully you'll come up with
something like you know I'll I'll give
you a text when I'm on my way or
something like that so a lot of problems
in marriage can be solved by how you say
it the next one is oh outcome the
outcome you're looking for so if you're
looking for an outcome of of having a um
what's the word I'm looking for um you
know in this in let's take this example
or whatever of of him coming home on
time that that's the outcome you want
why because you want to have a lovely
time with him if you understand the
outcome if you want if the outcome
you're looking for is to make them feel
badly for not coming you you have to
think about and write journals or write
down what is the outcome you're looking
for maybe the outcome you're looking for
is just that he calls you and gives you
more you want better communication so
having a de again I'm giving you such a
this is a complicated one outcome I'm
giving you a a shorthand but the rest is
is covered in there by the way I also
have 300 ladies talk shows which um you
can watch for free there's 300 of them
and we talk a lot about communication
and they're they're fine I do a lot of
interviews with with the various people
okay that's a and then T is timing this
everyone knows everyone knows this but
nobody follows it which is timing is
when you tell it yours if in In the Heat
of battle if you start talking to your
husband zero chance of success whereas
if you just bite your tongue where's my
duct tape you know put the you put the
duct tape on and you don't say anything
um and you think about what is the the
uh best time to say this and that's
might be after shabas meal he's well fed
he's well rested he's you know whatever
if he's just coming back from a vacation
a a business trip or something like that
I wouldn't hit him with the steps so
that's the last thing is timing okay
the the most important message I want to
give tonight
is right now we are probably the most
frenzied generation since time began we
don't just do one thing anymore we don't
give the kids a bath and give while
we're giving them a bath we're emailing
somebody a babysitter for Satur might
say shads we're ordering groceries we're
getting you know we're telling our
sister-in-law what time are you going to
be at the at the show you know we don't
do one thing at a
time the secret to the ultimate
closeness and Chen bias with your
husband is to make him the absolute
priority in your
life you will gain so much from this
this isn't like you should do this to be
a goodie twoes but if you make your
husband your absolute priority he will
cherish you and adore you and do on you
more than you can ever imagine
[Music]
possible okay making your husband your
number one priority of your life and
what that means is if you have to go you
know you're picking up his uh his shirts
from the cleaner and at the same time
you're picking up his um you your kid
needs shoes fixed at the cobbler
whatever how say we huh shoem maker
thank you okay so fine was sister and I
have a whole thing about cobbler um
anyway so you you um right you have to
bring the shoes in and you have to do
the husband right and in order to do the
husband's dry cleaning you have to take
a left and a left and a left and you
wait in line in lights whereas if you
went and dropped at the shoe maker first
and then it would be easier make it your
priority to do it for your husband first
why you'll know you'll know when you're
setting the table set your husband's
place first
this is making him feel in your eyes
he'll never know there he comes to the
table they're all set he will not know
but there's a level of of umus and a
level of closeness that comes from
making him your priority so let's go
over them again the um the first one is
I am
grateful I am empowering I am
understanding I am loyal I am attentive
that's the GAA let me tell you about the
contest we're doing the contest is we so
here so here is

the okay I'm going to do questions now
maybe I'll start with the questions
we'll do the raffle as people filling it
out okay fine okay
fine okay I'm going start if you think
if you think of another question while
I'm answering another question just
raise your hand and Dina will bring you
a an index
card oh thank
you okay how so the first question is
how
do we ask questions to be attentive if
uh our husband just wants peace and
quiet it's a good question it's a good
question so
um I would actually sell them on the
idea I would actually say you know
um I I'm I you know I went to a Shear or
I heard oh thank you I went to a Shear I
heard something and I like to you know
it said that that husbands are that it's
a sad thing that's happened in in
history that husbands aren't listen to
anymore and so our homework is to listen
to you so I know you love peace and
quiet but maybe he likes peace and quiet
because you can for 20 years no insult
that's a woman's way you
know right so um if he wants peace and
quiet I I would I would actually make a
pitch to him and I would say let's try
it you know and and he'll say like what
and and and get a notebook and write
down when my husband comes home tonight
here are 10 questions I'm going to have
in my back pocket that I can ask them
you know you can kind of look at it
under the table if you forget what they
are but you know like think use this
opportunity to be closer to your husband
is it
yeah yeah you want to write it here on
the hand or index yeah write it so that
so we're not saying anything about your
husband okay okay
um you want to collect the white V
things and we'll do the raffle I think
there's some over there some ladies are
there okay I have I have too many
questions but think by the way uh if you
join the coaching class thank you very
much if you join the coaching class um
the whole thing is questions everyone
gets their questions answers it's about
right right and where are you oh she's
where's hi okay I don't know where she
went let me put this down so that we I
can see you guys okay um I have too many
questions the thing I want to say oh
thank you your talk show for about 2
years now and I cannot thank you enough
a thank you one question I'll ask how do
I get my husband's needs met when it
feels like it is impossible to do it
all interesting so how do it is a
beautiful thing oh it's getting your
husband's needs met is a fine art fine
excuse me I should say fine Lost
Art people are so busy and frenzied
here's one thing I want you to
know there is no
Source in the
Torah that says we spend
eternity with our
children there's no Source I mean if you
guys find one send it to me but I've
been looking for 10 years never found a
source that we spend eternity with our
children but there are many sources that
say we spend eternity
with our husband and yet people spend
most of their time doing what running
after the kids because they've got
bigger mouths and they use them and the
key to understand is that after
120 where our measure is going to
be is how we took care of our
husbands so yeah so the answer to this
question about meeting your husband's
needs it's it's a nooda it's work
figuring out what it is asking him
saying you know when we first got
married you said you wanted me you like
different food every night and whatever
and you know I got so wrapped up in the
kids and whatever we have spaghetti on
Monday Pizza on
Tuesday is that still a need of yours or
did you gave it up because I gave it up
and he said no actually I would like it
you're like okay I don't know that I can
do it so what are we going to do so you
say listen I hear I'm glad you told me I
really really wanted to know and I will
tell you I'm going to keep the same
routine we have but on Wednesday nights
I'm going to make you something special
that all of us could probably do and
shift but it's it's really recognizing
and asking what are your needs how are
your reads needs going thank you for
these compliments mean a lot to me I
guess I asked for it what say go out an
index card anyway okay my husband is
wonderful but I am having a hard time
when it comes to finances because he
avoids the topic and it it it it's it's
never a good time for him to discuss
budgeting saving what do you advise so
very very challenging
um the thing that's not said here is is
his negligence of the area causing
financial problems in your marriage um
so let's just say it is because I I
don't want to out whoever wrote this
thing um any one of us could have
written it because this is a typical
issue um
so let's say his lack of focusing on it
is because he he you know it's causing a
lot of problems in the marriage or the
finances the lights are getting shut
down and everything like that if that if
this is the case then what you need to
do is you need to pull him aside and
remember we talked about the hot how to
say it the outcome you're looking for in
the timing so you need to write down a
list of things you could what is the
nicest thing you could say about this
how can you approach it if you if you
were a a the Chief Executive Officer of
a company and the head the CFO the chief
financial financial officer was not
paying attention to it right and you
knew if you said you're never paying
attention to it why don't you do right
right you get the board of directors
would throw you out on your on your on
your head right so anyway if you know so
how would you approach your husband if
he was the CFO of the company you'd say
you know I'm not quite sure what to do
the lights keep going out out you know
you youd make a big plan if that if you
tried everything and nothing's working
it might be time to speak to a third
party you know either go to a therapist
or Ritson you have to be very very
careful because if you go to his Rabbi
he'll be to terribly embarrassed and
that's a lack of loyalty so it could be
that you ask a shilot to somebody from
another town you know get another R and
say what should I do about this and try
and get AES from a Ritson or Rabbi from
another town not an easy problem but
again if you haven't tried everything to
do it the nice way then you haven't done
your job yet you know what I'm saying
like nagging him and fetching how's that
working for you right not not not so
great
okay um when giving Over Control when is
it okay to push for what you want
brilliant question so I you asked this
question right you're supposed to follow
your husband's will right excuse me Leia
what about Sarah AMU right she she
pushed ishmail out right and what about
Rifka she made him wear the thing and go
into the into her to yakob right so wait
a minute I thought you supposed to
follow your husband's will and let him
have control where does that fit in so I
asked a a big rub that question like
hello and the answer
was she listened to her husband 10,000
times and then did one thing where she
wasn't listening to him it's not like
that was defined their relationship What
defined the relationship is she maed and
she listened to the will of her husband
and followed the control of her husband
so just to answer get the doubt out of
your mind so that you'll understand so
for this when you give up control here's
what happens and this is a
gamarra when you a wife gives up control
the husband will bend his ear and listen
to the wife so what happens is if you
are if all the time you're fighting for
control the husband needs control Like
Oxygen you're fighting and you're
fighting and you're fighting right he
fights back and fights back fights back
if you give him control you know it says
you want the escort or the the Prius
thank you somebody was listening even me
wasn't listening yeah so do you want the
Prius or the or the escort and he'll ask
you your opinion because you gave up
control it's this is a miracle thing I
know you guys might be listening like I
okay I whatever you say then you go home
and try it it's guaranteed you give up
control and your husband will begin to
you know what was this last thing you
said then how do you push for what you
want you won't have to he'll he'll
listen because you listen to him 10,000
you listen to it 10 times and he'll
listen to you oh thank you very much
your speech was awesome H okay here's a
blank one okay how do you get how do I
get my husband to come home when he says
he's coming
home can anyone give the answer to this
and then you win the gold star I don't
know um okay so again this is a
communication issue he may or may not
have control if he runs the business if
he doesn't run the business as he's at
the bosses wom whatever he may not have
control if it's his own business and he
does have control over when he can come
home or not um this is a very big
challenge in or in terms of you know
having him understand how deep and how
important it is to you um again it's a
communication issue you could sit there
and you could make a very you know big
argument to him about whether you're um
uh you could fight him on it or you
could have a conversation that he would
maabo he would understand so again this
is a matter of planning the conversation
okay good okay you know what can I
trouble you to just hand these to me
quicker because I I save the time okay
at what point do you know if you need
marriage help like therapy even if no
issues just to communicate better if you
have conflicts that are happening in
your marriage that you can't
resolve then you you know if you don't
have a history of solving complicated
conflicts then you should get some
therapy maybe hand me the next one don't
look at it just open it open it for me
open it so you can't see it but I can't
thank you that's really helpful okay uh
if a husband scolds a child in front of
you do you need to take T take have his
back or is it on to stay qu better to
stay quiet I prefer to be quiet and not
get involved
perfect exactly right you do not say
anything it could be after you say you
know I think MOA was a little upset
because you came down hard on him but
the most important gift you can give to
your children isus between husband and
wife that's way more important than him
learning the right lesson or like that
okay stay quiet yes stay quiet
100% oh you've got the there
thank you okay uh what if you really
don't have the energy at at a time where
giving to him is
necessary okay that's tough
um what if you really don't have the
energy at a time where giving to him is
necessary like he needs you to do
something for him and you're just like
are you joking I just had gave birth
yesterday and you're trying to ask me to
wash the car you know whatever whatever
the thing is that he's asking of you um
again if you are doing so much for your
husband constantly constantly taking
care of him and Maat and letting him
have control then when when you need an
out he'll give it to you but if he never
can control you he'll fight you for it
so the key there is to is to uh make the
an overabundance of giving up control
and an over thank you an overabundance
of giving up control will lead to him
giving uh taking better care of you
ladies you have to understand this is
guaranteed this isn't an idea or a nice
concept this is from Shay this is Hashem
gave us a husband with this you give up
control it is guaranteed he will take
better care of
you okay and Hashem will take care
better care of you you may you may not
see immediate results of your husband
you might be annoyed you might not be
able to see it you may not want to see
it or you may you know whatever there's
a lot of stuff in between it's
guaranteed he'll take care better care
of you and for sure Hashem will take
better care of you brings BR into the
home
yeah part that's like when you're
physically not you said I guess part of
it is communicating but like are we ever
allowed to say like no or like not 100%
yeah do I look like I never say no to my
husband noing but I mean no it's like
it's like you know he'll say can you
this can do that when you're like you're
like you know what I just had such a
tough day I just
we feel our need if you need to go go
I'm sorry we're going a little over time
because we got a lot of questions oh but

Zila
bilha I'm giving nobody's here what
what's you're here go grab a priz sha
Maneri I think it is Ariana Sam Shar
Freda I'm very bad in pronunciation so
please forgive me estd Muller
Betty ariela
okay no one wants to go oh it's the
camera oh you want to take them back
someone carry them
back okay let me go back to the
questions uh oh yeah we only we only
have about uh eight more questions okay
how do we balance making our husband our
priority with work kids pushing the H uh
something the house running the house so
how do you make them the priority so
here's the here's the shift ladies you
have a your husband comes home from
you're giving the kids a bath you've got
three little babies in the B your
husband comes to the front door you
obviously drop leave the kids in the
bath by themselves and go get your
husband right no the difference between
making him a priority and not making him
a priority is instead of saying instead
when the kids are in the back you yell
out down the H down the hall oh hi hun
welcome home there's juice in the fridge
I'll be out in 10 minutes I'm giving the
kids a bath that's called giving your
husband making your husband the priority
Okay C okay if you don't have respect
for your husband how do you look aside
from the things that are causing this
and develop respect so respect is
granted never
earned that means your husband's thank
you for coming ladies thank you your
husband's your
husband no matter what he does or how he
does it
your husband is as respectable as you
grant him respect and you will see if
you grant your respect husband respect
when he doesn't deserve it he will grow
into the man that you've always wanted
to have how to get your husband to go to
Minion Mo without being too pushy um
minion is actually none of the wife's
business and I know that a lot of times
they teach in school you're his M you
know you're the one who's going to try
and get him whatever you're responsible
for his spiritual growth it's who's ever
been on a diet in this room okay
whatever you don't to raise your hands
right you're on a diet and you open the
fridge and you Monday morning you're
starting your diet and there's yes
shabas cheesecake from shabas on top
shelf and you say a little bit won't
hurt and you take it out of the fridge
and your husband says what do you think
you're
doing what would you do you punch him in
the nose is the same thing it's not it's
not your business but according to this
we put it away and say you're right we
put it away and say you're
right okay well you know what the EM is
oh thank you okay uh the the EM is that
you know the the relationship develops
on building King and when you build him
he'll take care of you give the
cheesecake he'll give you the cheesecake
for sure and it won't have any calories
either okay what's the best way to be
grateful for what you have without
everyone around you may have what you
want yeah I hear I hear it's very hard
and especially in this gosh me world you
have somebody who's living up the street
and you know my sister had a uh went to
somebody's house and this little girl
literally half her age I think my sister
was 40 and this girl was 20 and the
girl's house was like a mansion with
bedrooms and this and whatever and she's
like you know hello and she's sitting
there and she's flipping through through
a magazine and she sees this big
beautiful white you know the lady sees
this big white white wraparound couch
for her living room and my sister says
oh my gosh that's gorgeous you should
get it and she said she said yeah my
mother-in-law would never
let and my sister was like oh everything
had looks so Fancy from the outside but
when you get up close you know so the
point is that whatever you see other
people have there's always a story
behind it that makes you you you'd be
happy you know
happy what with what you have okay what
happens when your husband doesn't want
or attempt to be a giver how does this
work with your philosophy of the husband
being The Giver so actually what if if
someone say Leia what do you do 24/7
what's what's you what what's what's
your job I would say my job is teaching
women to be receivers right the
husband's The Giver the wife is the
receiver so I'm the receiver teacher
okay so if the husband once the woman
becomes a receiver which is been bred
out of us through Decades of women's
movement whatever I'm not an
anti-feminist whatever we gained some
things we gain we lost some things also
and once a woman is a learns to be a
receiver her husband becomes a giver
okay so it's it's practice it's a aota
okay uh very nice okay thank you just oh
we just have a couple more okay oh then
what happens to single girls how do they
get assessed if if it if all this braa
comes to the husbands good question I
actually asked this question to many G
and one said oh it's their future
whatever their future husband is doing
they get BR from their future husband or
other people said you know some I said
well what if they never get married and
he said that that Braha then they
there's a special dispensation I've got
some many great crazy answers all across
the board I don't have a good answer for
that yeah ask your local Orthodox R but
um the My submission is that you know
just as I said to rim ketki I said you
know if our vter of our life is Shalom
bias what about a single person and he
said they're also in Shalom bias in in
terms of wherever they go with they're
having good relationship with their
mother or having you know going to the
lady behind the counter and being nice
to her they they in that um how do you
get braa if not married same question um
uh yeah so I don't know the answer to
that I I think it's I think it's um
uh you know maybe put in a storehouse
this is I'm just remembering another
answer that it's put in a storehouse for
you and it comes down through different
Source I I sorry above my papade and I
did ask a lot of people it's not like I
I um uh but I just got so many different
answers okay this is so important thank
you for what you are investing in our
precious Nation I am in therapy and so
much of what you say makes say resonates
oh is this a question I went for so many
reasons and not my marriage but my
marriage is so much better this will
only enhance it more to okay that was
just a thank you okay very good thank
you guys very much for being here I
really appreciate it and and um Hashem
should bench each and every woman in
this room with an Aaliyah and Shel bias
starting right now now with cl room
yeah
