Jewish communities invest extensive resources in divorce proceedings while providing minimal preparation for marriage itself - a striking imbalance given marriage's central role in Jewish life. Pre-marital counseling often consists of brief, perfunctory interviews, contrasting sharply with the comprehensive preparation required for other Jewish ceremonies like Bar Mitzvahs. Through comparative analysis, this research reveals the need for systematic pre-marital education and proposes a structured six-component program encompassing Jewish traditions, psychological wellness, financial planning, health considerations, social obligations, and personal growth. The intervention features twice-weekly sessions over six weeks, combining educational lectures with professional-led group discussions drawing from religious, medical, psychological, and educational expertise. Current religious leadership's emphasis on managing marital dissolution rather than preparation appears misaligned with marriage's status as Judaism's most deliberate and emotionally significant ceremonial commitment. Implementation of comprehensive pre-marital institutes offers a cost-effective pathway to enhanced marital stability, reduced divorce rates, and strengthened spiritual, mental, and physical well-being for future Jewish generations.
