Taboo

Thanks for the welcome back wishes and mazal tovs.

Before I got married, I thought I knew it all. Rules, halachos, I didnt expect to learn anything new. Well, I was unpleasantly surprised.

Once married, you enter an entire world that is based around halacha. Never in my life did I know when shkia was besides for on a friday, for shabbos. I thought it was a man's job to know. Not so. I never thought that keeping halacha could be so hard or so embarrassing.

Not to scare the single ones off from getting married. Being married is truly wonderful, most of the time. But there is something in not having to worry about getting home at a certain time, and there is definitely less stress about it. I told one of my good single friends to just enjoy her time without worrying that you are doing something wrong.

I know that this subject is basically taboo to discuss. But I dont think I am talking explicitly here, and it is on my mind. Am I the only one that really has a hard time?

If you know when sunset is on Friday, then you've got the rest of the week covered as well. Assuming you don't live at extreme lattitudes, sunset during the week doesn't vary more than a few minutes before sunset on Friday.

I don't get it, why's it so important to get home on time when married? To get to the mikve on time or something?

It gets easier with time. Eventually, you figure out a system that works for you.

It's an adjustment, but a minor one, I'd say... I agree with what Wolf said, you know the latest sunset time for the week and you're good. You can usually do whatever you gotta do wherever you are...

wow you caught me at the right time!
Today i have to leave work early so that I make it back home (around a 1/2 hour) before shkia.

Then I'll have to make it up sometime before the end of January...

It is tough sometimes. But its worth it.

Why do you have to go home? I'd guess there's a way to take care of things on the road, for the most part. And on the actual night, it's preferable to start at shkia, but it's not required.
