Review
"Rabbi Weiss's abilities in the oral medium of lectures, shiurim, and tapes are legendary. His famed ability to articulate is extraordinary. He now desires to utilize the written word to inspire and elevate as well. There is no doubt in my mind that Rabbi Weiss will be equally successful in this endeavor!" -- -Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, Rosh HaYeshiva, Yeshiva of Staten Island, New York

About the Author
At first glance, Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss seems an unlikely marriage adviser. He sports the traditional long black coat, wears the typical black hat, and, of course, has the long beard of the fervently Orthodox.
But despite his traditional appearance, Rabbi Weiss's sage outlook on life reflects his thorough understanding of the difficulties presented by modern life and modern marriage. He knows that in today's complex and chaotic world, people often get so busy that they don't take care of one of the most important relationships in their life.
To packed audiences in the traditional Jewish neighborhoods of the five boroughs of New York City, Rabbi Weiss talks about how to find a good mate, ways to improve one's marriage, and how to forge a healthier relationship with one's children. He also gives insights into coping with life's daily stresses. He offers the advice people desperately seek-usually from self-help books or therapists-to men and women eager for his practical, refreshingly direct approach and unaccustomed to reading self-help books or even going to a therapist.
Rabbi Weiss also presents a model of marriage that's not quite what you would expect from a man with Rabbi Weiss's background. Although he acknowledges that a good marriage requires hard work, he insists that every couple should make sure they set aside some quality time for each other. "Imagine a partner who will exalt at your triumphs and fortify you during your losses. It's a universal desire to be married to someone who will put your needs before everyone else's and have eyes brimming with love reserved only for you. To be able to share life with such a partner is indeed an enormous blessing." Rabbi Weiss explains that, with two dedicated hardworking partners, this ideal of domestic harmony is within reach.
Treat your spouse as you would like to be treated, urges Rabbi Weiss. If you crave attention, be more attentive yourself. Think about how and what you criticize your spouse for and learn how to differ wisely. Appreciate each other and spend time together. In this way, romance can blossom, despite the familiar routine and the demands of daily life.
Rabbi Weiss, who received his rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, zt"l, has been the Rabbi of Agudas Yisroel of Staten Island for the past 15 years. He is not only a well-respected lecturer and educator, but has also written numerous newspaper and magazine articles, disseminated hundreds of thousands of tapes and has been featured on several radio shows. Some of his insights into dating and marriage are included in his first book, Passionate Judaism (Judaica Press).
