The Torah’s blanket term for all the reasons why people get a divorce is “ervat davar”.

Relationships between couples are a means to be an end, not the end in itself. If a partner can’t meet the needs of the other, they go their separate ways amicably. Inasmuch as we want it, the reality is that some people just can’t be what we want them to be and it’s ok. You wouldn’t ask an apple to act like an orange, or a carpenter like a shoemaker. Would you?

As a therapist, I see too many clients trying to “save their relationships” instead of getting their needs met. I understand why, though. I help them achieve their goals, but also help them see things from a different perspective, a more realistic ones in each case.

: “He just gave me a glass of water, put me to bed and went and slept on the sofa,” Sav said. “The next morning I gave him a peck on the lips to say thank you and, when I got in the elevator I licked my lips. It was like my body exploded.”

: No one leaves this place alive. What do we do while we’re here? Fulfill our purposes, live, love, laugh!

Only happy people do what is best for them. There are so many unspoken societal rules that the majority of those that are trying to conform feel so lost as who they should love or be with. A lot of factors are considered: age, weight, mobility, height, color, economic status, education, profession, religion, ethnicity, race, so forth. But do you remember the song “we find love in a hopeless place…”?

All you need is someone who really gets you and the rest will follow. Remember that love is in the eyes of the beholder.

Behold, love, be loved, and let live!

Sav, then aged 18, and Mark Harrison, then 40, initially matched on Tinder.
