So glad to hear you say Rachel that you felt you used your capacities fully as a single, proactively.

[kimrouessart]

I am not Jewish but I loved this interview especially when Ozzie called Rachel a class act a beautiful compliment because she really is ❤

[VivianRusso]

I had been waiting for an in depth interview of Rachel & Ozzie like this for a long time! Thank you so much! Hashem should help all Klal Israel find their zivug with clarity BH

[esther_]

Love this. I felt encouraged by Rachel's sharing. Really like it they treasure deeply the moments life has given back to them. Thanks for sharing this interview.

[effy]

I am a baal teshuva and when I was in E. Y. Ozzie was one of my most favorite people.

[healthymom]

Nice interview. I dont know who this couple is but my husband does similar work (different approach) with singles and they are definitely correct in their assessments in terms of the issues and blocks holding people back from marriage. Its svary and sad how much pressure is on frum singles today. For what its worth i was also an older bride i had to be hit on the head and dragged back to the cave so to speak, had absolutely no idea what the heck i was doing or what i wanted. Luckily my husband took charge and also did a little break up routine with me that was a kick in my pants to make me realize i didn't want to lose him. He is 10 years younger than me too, which is a major reason why we couldnt meet earlier. I was already dating while he was still in elementary school!!
Hashem has His plan and everything Hashem does is for the best so have emunah and bitachon and you will always be happy

[jonathanpraff]

Ozzie and Rachel, you are fountains of chochmah. I love how you both tied bitachon into the picture. Spot on. Strong!

[myjourney]

If both ppl would b honest and real on dates much heartbreak can b eliminated

[yzar]

Gotta love Rabbi Refson’s sense of humor

[nechamabarkin]

I loved this episode so much! definitely one of my favorites! What a beautiful story and beautiful couple!

[julieschechter]

To be a caregiver to a chronically ill spouse is a harrowing experience. I’m so happy for this lovely couple. Mazal Tov 🎉
He kind of looks like Prince William. And she is so smart!

[MirC]

Such a much needed discussion, thank you!

[MordyC]

I just wanna grab lunch with this guy… so much depth

[MsMuradova]

Excellent interview! Beautiful couple!

[estyfried]

Excellent interview. Impressed by both of them!

[ncwhunh]

great interview . would also be helpful if she would explain the mistakes of her previous engagements. thanks

[myjourney]

Great inspiring story
Unfortunately not everyone is so lucky to meet The One
Many many men are not interested in really committing
Schools need to start having relationship skills /conflict resolution skills classes

[ruchiezidele]

Strong and beautiful amazing interview of an amazing couple❤

[youknowthatgirl]

So strong, I’m not sure I could do a second marriage. One will be enough

[ShuiHaber]

Mamesh an inspiration for the nation! Kudos!
