However, sixty-nine councils have so far refused to agree to the government’s suggestion of removing the turnstiles while eighteen councils are undecided.

"American women have never been this resigned to staying single. They are responding to major demographic shifts, including huge and growing gender gaps in economic and educational attainment, political affiliation and beliefs about what a family should look like."

"[A]s far back as our sources go, #Judaism teaches about a deeper layer in #marriage. The #Torah tells us that Isaac did indeed love his wife Rebekah when they got married (even though they did meet through a matchmaker!).

In fact, #Maimonides, in one of the most authoritative legal codes, states that “a man should honor his wife more than himself and love her as himself.” A loving, emotional connection is an expectation in a #Jewish marriage.

Mystically, the Torah tells us that a man and wife are in fact two halves of a whole; their souls are destined for each other from before they are even born, and seek to reconnect with and complete each other. Every marriage is an expression of this longing and fulfillment."

"'Traditional #marriage' is not being taken from you. Anyone can still do that. You want to be a 'trad' with a stay at home wife and lots of kids? Millions of people do, plenty of women still want that role, and broad economic prosperity makes it easier, not harder." liberalcurrents.com/most-men-d
