Summary

Unless you're the Post Office or a University, you do not offer lifetime employment to new hires. It is a bad business practice. So why do we marry and say to each other, "this is forever" or "till death us do part"? Tenure is not good at the post office and not good at universities, so why does it work for marriage? Most successful partnerships are built on a carefully drafted partnership agreement. Why do many marriage partnerships thrive without any written agreement? The best airline pilots have gained proficiency on about ten or twenty different airplanes before they take the controls of the airliner you are riding in. Surely the best marriages are when husband and wife have gained proficiency with ten or twenty other people before you?

How can the action that creates life be anything but holy? But how can the source of great sensual pleasure be holy? How can a wife be both a sister and a bride? How can we possibly live together: Men believe all pain and sadness can be healed with physical intimacy, but women don't. Banishing the tedium of familiarity and recovering the original euphoria.

0:32.4	And I'm solemnly dedicated to providing this service for each and every happy warrior,
0:41.0	because knowing how the world really works makes it a lot easier to have a happy,
0:49.7	successful, and fulfilling life.
0:53.8	And part of that happy and successful and fulfilling life is a question
1:00.1	of relationships. And at the heart of relationships lies the question of male-female relationships.
1:09.8	It's obviously not an accident that at the very beginning of the Bible,
1:16.4	in the very first chapter and then reinforced in the second chapter, we find that one of the
1:24.0	most important relationships dealt with really early is the relationship between
1:29.9	husband and wife between a man and a woman. And it's only much later in scripture in the
1:37.6	book of Exodus and later on in Deuteronomy that we find details of other relationships,
1:43.9	relationships where one man hires another man to do a job,
1:50.1	or contentious relationships where fights break out.
1:54.7	And one of the things that ancient Jewish wisdom stresses is that the entire purpose of the Bible is relationship obsessed.
