Money talks with your boo stressing you out? Different spending habits, financial goals, and past money experiences can create tension. But avoiding the conversation isn't the answer! Ultimately you're on the same team. Aligning your values and vision for your life together with your financial goals can reduce stress and yield dividends of joy.

MJC helps you explore these questions in our couples cohorts (starting soon) and private premarital counseling.

Reach out for a gift code to join us soon!

Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing you health, happiness, and prosperity in the year of the snake.

Mazel Tov to Minwah and Aaron on their wonderful September wedding. ⁠ Thank you for sharing this beautiful photo with us (and for being in our most recent Boston couples cohort!)

Their ceremony and ketubah were true celebrations of Minwah and Aaron as individuals, as beloveds, their respective families and backgrounds. What a profoundly special way to mark this new adventure!

We won't bombard you with emails - this is our only fundraising campaign of 2024. Consider adding MJC to your EOY of giving. Thank you for your support!

If I had a penny for every time someone told me they hated talking about money, well… I’d be singing like Tevya from Fiddler on the Roof. (Yes, this is a fundraising email.)It's so true though. For many people, talking about money is awkward, uncomfortable, and very stressful. Add in a wedding o...

Stay curious!

There is always more to discover about our partners--which is part of the magic of love! No matter the years, there are more interesting things to learn about one another, more surprises, more compelling mysteries!

Esther Perel keeps us intrigued, too. 😊

Answer: EVERYONE! (Rabbis included! Rabbi G and her husband are a testament to that. See their super cute pic...) 🥰

Pre-martial counseling is supremely useful for every couple! Rather than an indication of strife or discord in your relationship, pre-martial counseling is a rewarding, proactive practice for you and your beloved as you prepare to tie the knot.

Pre-marital counseling offers so many benefits, not the least of which is dedicated time to reconnect and deepen your bond with your beloved during stressful wedding planning! 😅

Counseling can offer you and your partner tools for conflict resolution, healthier communication, clarification of shared goals and dreams, greater appreciation of one another's strengths, more trust and intimacy...the list goes on.

Rabbi G offers ongoing private pre-marital counseling herself! Check out the details here... https://tinyurl.com/6mpbufky
