Taharas Hamishpacha Article Discussion For The Married Folk...

[Dan]

A lot of times with no real physical contact (hugging/kissing/ect). Actually not touching like when handing something to her/me I can't really say.

When you try 12-14 days with zero touching period, while in the same city, let us know

[Luvtotravel]

Ouch!!!

indeed. if you would only know the ramifications other than in the bedroom...

[Luvtotravel]

Don't even get me started on botched vacations 

we should start a "war stories" thread

[coralsnake]

Ouch!!!

What about botched wedding night?

[Dan]

תניא היה ר"מ אומר

מפני מה אמרה תורה נדה לשבעה

מפני שרגיל בה וקץ בה

אמרה תורה

תהא טמאה שבעה ימים כדי שתהא חביבה על בעלה כשעת כניסתה לחופה

I think part of the problem is the overemphasis of the "good for your marriage" idea. We don't keep TM because of the benefits, just like we don't eat only kosher because it's "cleaner"

True. But I do think most frum Jews do believe that TM is helpful overall to the health of their marriage just like they believe that Shabbos is good for their sanity.
At least I do.

On average how many days per month is it allowed? You can't time it for honeymoon/vacation/special occasions?

100% serious here. It would not be a big deal.
Is the biggest hurdle that you touch by accident?

You're welcome to share here if you want.

Can you imagine how much less entertaining this would be without JTZ here?
Also, JTZ -do you realize that for some here you are there main interaction with the non Jewish world? That's a serious weight to bear

[zh cohen]

That's why I bolded "over"

I look at it as the DDF whipping boy. You can take all your frustrations out on me.

The biggest hurdle for me is

But I do agree that disagreements had during the ~12 days that would be far smoother with just the ability to touch each other.

It's not that it's a big deal, but after 12-14 days of no physical contact, it's still something that's quite special even many years into a marriage.

it definitely does something to reignite. how many of us haven't gone weeks during pregnancy without...

I don't know the main interaction in general, but quite possibly their main interaction in discussing these matters.

So true.

I don't know the main interaction in general, but quite possibly their main interaction in discussing these matters.

I'd believe main interaction in general for the majority of DDFers.

Hopefully that will never end. If it doesn't you are one lucky/special couple.

Technically you can if needed.
