> A common practice in some segments of today's Jewish world is for brides and grooms to attend "Chattan/kallah classes" where the attendees receive instruction and advice on relationship dynamics and intimacy (see here for more info.). It has become so popular that one who does not attend such classes prior to marriage is looked upon with a raised eyebrow and, depending on the individual's circles, met with objection.

In fact, I heard recently that the national rabbinate here in Israel requires any woman getting married under its auspices to take such classes.

@msh210 I remember seeing a video about that, I thought it was a beautiful idea. Though my suspicions are that the main intent of those classes and why they were established were to teach the Halachos of Niddah, but they are marketed as a more holistic marriage course in order to be more palatable to those who would otherwise not attend classes on Hilchos Niddah.

Is the references tag different from the sources-mekorot tag?

@Alex One user affixed the former to one question. Ask him. Or just edit

@IsaacMoses I was thinking of that option too.

@Alex being privileged helps one moderate

@IsaacMoses Eh, I would have still needed approval votes if I had suggested it.
