After many years of counseling young couples to prepare them for marriage, Rabbi Avrohom Plotkin and Mrs. Goldie Plotkin realized there was a common denominator in all of these couples: they were missing basic training for marriage.
As a result, the Plotkins developed a marriage training course based on the seven expressions used by King Solomon in the Song of Songs to describe the concept of marriage.
Don’t miss this humorous and informative panel discussion that will inevitably give you some insights into how to have a successful marriage.
This presentation was given at the National Jewish Retreat – a yearly event hosted by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute. The Retreat is a five day learning and discovery experience with world-class Torah lecturers which offers the opportunity to relax, reflect and refresh one’s spirit in a luxurious setting.

This was very inspiring and refreshing.
Mrs. Devorah Krasnianski has been working on premarital classes that have been really helpful. I know a few girls and bochurim (seperate classes) who really benefited from it. She has different people who present the workshops from a Torah and psychological perspective.
very nice and inspirational
To me these are the most important lessons we all need. all the other ‘things’ are Symptoms of the problems. If you have Sholom Bayis you give your family the greatest gift of all…
I listen to all of Goldies shiurim on chabad.org!
Amazing
Thanks for the inspiration!
You are very smart! I wish it was mandatory to go for pre-marriage counseling.
Thank you Platkins. You are amazing. The greatest is when the couple learns Chita’s together from the onset. That will make your marriage beautiful and you wont have any fights.
The Rebbe told this to people as well.
Thank you so much for sharing! This was very insightful. Thank you to the Plotkins, very well done and great stories to bring your points to life. your community is lucky to have you!
I sent my kids to Shea Hecht for pre-marriage counseling. Kids who never dated much if at all & who don’t have any kind of interaction with the opposite gender before they get engaged need to learn how to relate to a spouse. He was amazing & gave them whatever they weren’t getting from Chosson & Kallah classes. I advise all parents to invest in counseling during the engagement. Can’t afford it? Cut out 4 bottles of Grey Goose from the bar at the chassuneh.
Thank you
i liked your joke about the nun! LOL!
king solomon had multiple wives slaves and concubines…he knew exactly the ridges of a successful marriage LOL
Rabbi Shea Hecht has been doing this for years and has saved countless marriages.
Nice to see more people opening up to his ideas
Thank your for your selfless work over the years. You and your wife Goldie are an inspiration to us all.
