Take One: Ketubot 44 and 45

Today’s Talmud pages, Ketubot 44 and 45, give us a solid bit of relationship advice. Rabbi Sari Laufer joins us to explain why the rabbis warned against defaming your wife, and what the status of your physical intimacy had to do with the state of your relationship. Is it ever alright to complain to friends about your significant others? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
