About the Course
Marriage is all about love, so why do I find myself constantly arguing with my spouse? If you've ever wondered that (and who hasn't?), this course is for you.
As you'll discover, marriage is far more than two people deciding to spend their lives together. It's about a core connection that reaches deep within us, one that can, and should, bring out the best in each other.
Drawing on the profound wisdom of the Tanya, this course pairs deep Chassidic ideas with practical, real-life tools to make your marriage and your life genuinely happier.
If your marriage isn't everything it could be, it's time to change it.
This four-week series begins Tuesday, 7 Av - July 21.
New classes air each Tuesday at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific.
Course Syllabus
July 21, 2026
Marriage thrives on a healthy flow of giving and receiving. Drawing from the relationship between G-d and the Jewish people, this class explores how true receiving activates giving, and why the giver must first create safety and leadership. You’ll learn how a wife invites giving by becoming a willing receiver, and how a husband strengthens the relationship by initiating and leading with responsibility and respect.
Like G-d, who gently asks to be welcomed, a strong marriage begins when both partners understand how to start the flow.

The Song of Songs describes four ways a husband relates to his beloved—each representing a distinct level of connection in marriage. This class explores calm love, passionate love, faithful attachment, and complete unity.
You’ll learn that all four levels are necessary and experienced at different times, but that the goal of marriage is to grow toward a sense of completion—where two people feel truly whole together.
We also address why couples sometimes feel disconnected and prepare for the deeper work needed to reach lasting unity.

Tanya teaches that every soul expresses itself primarily through intellect, emotion, or action. While everyone possesses all three, differences in dominance often lead to misunderstanding and conflict in marriage.
This class helps you identify your own orientation and your spouse’s and understand where friction comes from. You’ll discover why a healthy marriage requires developing your weaker traits—and how growth in all three areas creates balance and resilience.

Marriage reflects the relationship between G-d and the Jewish people, built on love, reverence, and humility. Reverence means not wanting to cause pain or separation; love means wanting the other to be happy.
This class explores how pride blocks growth and why humility is essential for real change. Based on Tanya’s guidance, you’ll learn a practical daily practice of honest self-reflection that breaks arrogance and opens space for growth.
We conclude with a forward-looking approach: no guilt, no regret—just consistent, focused effort that allows marriage to deepen over time.
