My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary earlier this year. This occasion marked the end of our shana rishona, the yearlong “honeymoon” period that our rabbis warn us is anything but. It's a time of solidifying the relationship, learning to compromise, and adjusting to a spouse's idiosyncrasies. For Orthodox couples, this first year is often a struggle to navigate the [rules of taharas hamishpacha] which are mandated by halakha, or Jewish law. But a new survey indicates that, over the long term, Orthodox Jews have happier marriages than the general public.
