I Only Want to Get Married Once Chana Levitan
Publisher: Gefen Publishing House

This Shabbat I finally sat down to read another of the books I had received as review copies, I Only Want to Get Married Once by Chana Levitan, Gefen Publishing House. When I talked to my sister about my hopes to travel to Germany for singing in the near future, she remarked, "but do you really want to do that your first year of marriage?" Whether I want to be away from my husband or not is . I'm gay and personally it's not just about getting married. Just like we agreed I would have a great time working in China for 2 months, and that it would be a great opportunity for him to meet me there so I could show him around after having lived there. Fine, we fess up: We practice arranged marriage. I mean if i'm going to get married i wanted it to last like all those disney princesses do. He argues instead for Have you read "I Only Want to Get Married Once"? €I Only Want to Get Married Once.” “Too late for me,” he replied. €I already blew it.” I can't count the number of times people have made that comment to me. But i want to have that option to do get married and be recognized not just by our neighbors and family, but by the whole society. €We celebrate rugged individualism that is antithetical to the arranged marriage culture,” he said. Plus, if my partner dropped dead one day after we had been together for twenty years, why shouldn't I be protected and entitled to some of his estate? I read the entire book this afternoon.
