#ShalomBayis

Mariage is fun. Marriage is exciting, and romantic, and magical. And it's also... not.

It's the exhaustion of waking up at 4 a.m. for your newborn baby. It's the stress of bills, the pang of jealously, the mesh of personalities that don't always mesh.

It's finding out that the guy you dated is different than the one you live with. That the woman you married isn't what she seemed.

Welcome to shalom bayis.

Shalom Bayis: The Jewish religious concept of domestic harmony and good relations (or shalom) between husband and wife. These short stories highlight some tried and tested methods of attaining Shalom Bayis. Not all of them work... some even fail terribly. A humorous, uncensored, thought-provoking perspective.
