In this second part of this episode, (part 1 here) with our returning guest Elisheva Liss, we dive into the controversial topic of the benefits and challenges of making our partners and children aware of the fundamentals of relationships and the taboo topic of sex awareness.

Often, religious or community obligations and accepted practices encourage young people to marry, and often without providing the tools to a happy marriage. Expectations in physical and emotional relationships are followed by disappointment, marital distress and divorce, leaving us to ponder what went wrong. Nowadays, the notion of commitment is mocked like an outdated religious construct and Elisheva suggests we take the time and patience to educate children, when age appropriate, and on an easy to understand level, that people experience love in different ways, as a much needed preparation for relationships so as to avoid misinformation and missed expectations later on in life. Listen to previous episodes with Elisheva here and here.

• “If two people go into a marriage with only the focus on pleasure and fun and enjoyment, when the going gets tough, they're in for a rude awakening.” @Elisheva Liss @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
• “We would be doing a tremendous service to incorporate a lot more relationship building skills into childhood and adolescence” @Elisheva Liss @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
• “hopefully divorce won't be... angry, bitter restraining orders... We can be sad. We can really be broken for a while... but do we have to hate the person just because we drifted apart?” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
