The Art of Marriage, a provocative new course on the secrets of successful marriage is once returning to Nashville. This new course will begin on Wednesday, January 12th, at 7:00 PM, and continue for four consecutive Wednesday evenings, at Chabad of Nashville on Bellevue Road. Regardless of marital status, all are invited to attend the four-session course, presented by Nashville's Jewish Learning Institute and taught by Rabbi Yitzchok Tiechtel.
The Art of Marriage will go far beyond platitudes, to cover topics at the heart of modern marriage. Does marriage still serve any purpose at all? How far should one go to make a marriage work? When is divorce the best option? Included as well are Jewish secrets, from ancient texts, on how to increase intimacy in marital relationships. “Beautiful, inspiring, but most of all practical,” says Dr. Patricia Love, author of How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It, one of Amazon’s top two marriage books. “Whether your marriage is magical or miserable, this vital course is designed for you.”
Judaism views a loving marriage as a spiritual as well as a human ideal. The Art of Marriage shows students how to attain that for themselves and for their spouses, with timeless lessons from both modern and ancient Jewish texts such as the Talmud and Zohar. "Judaism venerates marriage and therefore has a long history of looking to enhance the marriage experience. The course is not only about providing techniques for success in marriage, but also about changing your attitude toward your spouse and toward marriage in general,” explains Rabbi Yitzchok Tiechtel.
The Art of Marriage is designed to appeal to students at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. This course is open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship.
Due to the sensitive nature of this course, this class will be in person and not on zoom. To register please go to or call 615-646-5750. If you want your marriage to become a masterpiece of art, the Art of Marriage is for you.
