In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we explore what truly makes marriage “great,” from the sacred concept of soulmates to practical skills for everyday harmony. Our guests—Rabbi Manis Friedman, Rabbi Shais Taub, and somatic healer Miriam Racquel Feldman—challenge the idea that marriage is about personal gain or mere happiness. Instead, they show how viewing marriage as a shared mission—anchored in spiritual purpose and mutual respect—can transform conflict into connection and routine coexistence into genuine intimacy. We discuss the difference between love and oneness, how to create a safe emotional space at home, and why authentic growth often emerges from life’s toughest moments. Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in-between, this conversation offers uplifting insights and practical wisdom for building a grounded, purposeful, and deeply fulfilling marriage.
