Married . . . at last!

I got married for the first time at 50. The groom was 51. Yes, we are both Jewish. We met online.

Book review: The Divorce Lawyers’ Guide

Author and former practicing attorney Wendy Jaffe has written an interesting and illuminating work called, \”The Divorce Lawyers\’ Guide to Staying Married.\”

The Cost of Marriage

I knew that the normal adjustments from bachelorhood were inevitable, such as putting down the toilet seat and washing linens more frequently than every six months. But I never imagined that marriage would force me to re-experience the entire immigration process.

Bebe and Me

A lot of people my age feel pressure from their families to get married, but I think my not being married is the only thing keeping my grandmother alive. Bebe often tells me she just wants to live long enough to see my wedding. I\’ll say \”I do\” and then she\’ll immediately keel over. It\’s a lot to bear.

Bebe likes to pretend she\’s open-minded and doesn\’t care if I date non-Jewish women. I should point out that I am technically Jewish — both my parents were born Jews. I never went to Hebrew school but we did celebrate Chanukah — until the year we couldn\’t find the menorah. Then that was that: Bring on Christmas!
