Love & Marriage

This episode explores Thomas Sowell's views on love and marriage.In his 1980 book "Knowledge and Decisions," Sowell tells the story of two farmers working one plot of land, and we use that story as a metaphor for the foundations of marriage. I interview Dovid Feldman, who I view as a true expert on the subject of marriage.Dovid is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. His specialty is the institution of marriage and what couples can do to strengthen their marriages. He recently published a book called 52 Tweets to a Great Marriage; you're going to want to read this book and you can find it HERE.You can find Dovid on Twitter here: @dovidfeldman, his tweets always inspire me.His website is: dovidfeldman.comIf you're looking for a great couple's therapist, your search is over...contact him.Dovid and I discuss many related subjects:• Family and children• Sowell's views on gay marriage• Intermarriage• The differences between men and womenThe podcast takes an unexpected twist when our wives join us toward the end of the episode:Dovid's wife is Miriam Feldman and you can find her book "God Said What?"
