The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin on demand on the Blaze Radio Network.

Hello everybody, welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Laban Show,

and thank you all very much indeed

for being so effective in promoting and publicizing the show.

A whole lot of you are obviously doing that,

and both Susan and I appreciate that enormously.

Well, today's show is entitled,

if familiarity breeds contempt,

how can marriage survive?

And sure enough, it obviously is a real question,

but on one level,

I'm sure that many of you are identifying it

as a bit of a straw man type of question

if familiarity breeds contempt, but maybe it doesn't always breed contempt, in which case there's no

real question. I mean, after all, we all know that every expression or idiom or proverb that means one thing is always matched by another idiom or expression or proverb that means exactly the opposite.

For instance, the squeaking wheel gets the grease.

So you go up there to the top floor and make a fuss. But wait, silence is golden.

Or, you know, you really ought not to judge a book by its cover.

Right? But wait a second. Clothes make the man.
