Marriage....between a male and female is complete
The Rabbi should be a keynote speaker at the state and federal level when it comes to the subject of marriage being only between a man and a woman. He is once again, right. The completeness can come because of the fact that the lock and key matches. Without the proper fit, without the unique qualities that each gender can give the other, the door will not open, happiness and fullfillment can never be achieved. When male loves and "marries" only a male, and female only female, the lock remains with a lock and the key with the key....incomplete and useless..forever seaching for meaning.

TO BE OR NO TO BE COMPLETE, THIS IS THE QUESTION
Reading the comments of some regarding the message of Rabbi Friedman, i understand that some people considere themselves compleet in themselve, that is by and for only themselve, if this is to be compleet so be it, but how pretentious to think that the world start and finishes with you? For sure to be complete must surely includes something or someone else. In this unjewish way, one may even be completely jewish without any other jewish person, then there will be the synagogue and services of one, who needs 10 anymore? completness of one by itself is completly absurde,crazy and other qualifications that i do not write here...

Being Complete
Rabbi Friedman is so very wise! It cannot be denied that men and women complete each other. A good marriage is beautiful but, oh, so rare. But what about those of us who choose to be single? Perhaps we are widows or widowers but we no longer desire a spouse. When there is completion in singleness, that is a very happy state indeed!

The Romance of Attraction
We all tak about it; but what is it? What is the science of attraction? What does a man truly find irresistible about a woman? Can attraction only be about the continuation of our species?
