Was it good (to the married)?


What a beautiful and perfect movie(10/10).

I had never learnt about Jewish tradition. However, I related to many of those pressures in my own society. I have friends, my own brother, which I suspect they only married because it was the "right thing" (pregnancy, social status, etc).

I am not telling that they are not happy. This is my purpose in this thread. I am myself, very unsure of whether I should marry one day or if she will be the right person. When I attend a wedding ceremony, I always end feeling the same feelings I had when 'Fill the Void' ended. I don't know what they were feeling at all, if it was true or was just the right thing.

So, if it doesn't bother you, I am recreating the most thought provoking part of the movie for me, which went unanswered. I would like to learn from married people, religious or not, can you answer Shira's questions please:

How old where you when you married?
Was it good?
Everything was new?
Were you excited to marry the most beautiful woman in the world?
Was it wonderful to be married the first time?


Thanks in advance for anyone who will answer.

I'm not the target audience of your post but I enjoyed reading it and the questions you quote that Shiva asked in the film. I felt that, by the end of the film, Shira's reasons for marrying were the 'right' ones in terms of her and her needs.

The distance is nothing. The first step is the hardest.

YEAH...I really felt sorry for FRIEDA. It's like she was just XPENDABLE & no1 really cared about her feelings.& I think being/takingup with an "OLD MAN" is XCEPTABLE if UUU find him appealing/worthy I would'nt care what others thought about his looks & some "OLD MEN" age very nicely!!!(wish I could meet 1!!! that would CHOOSE MEMEME!!! LOL!!! @ the same XXX I wanted to CHOOSE HIMHIMHIM!!! LOL!!!:)
