Family Purity Coming to a New Home Near You

As we come closer to the geulah we see how medicine, technology, and science in particular is "discovering" things that Torah speaks about thousands of years ago and now it has become easier for a skeptic to practice Torah and mitzovs both for himself and the people around him. Not that we need to science to confirm what is written in the Torah but when moshiach comes the world will be in in tandem with what it says in torah and nothing will look like it is opposed to the Torah view or not in perfect harmony. I believe we are seeing a host of interesting discovers that point int this direction.


In the article below the researchers found that many couples (30- 40%) have separate beds. On the contrary they are saying this leads to happier healthy marriage  Now for many years a young couple got married and may have been embarrassed to tell their friends or family that are not aware of the Laws of family purity that they have separate beds. now not only don't they have be embarrassed they can show them this study. Again not that without this they should be embarrassed but its a lot easier to keep torah and mitzvos when the rest of the world "agrees" with you and is now finding that this is the way to go. We see this pattern with so many laws strewn across the code of Jewish law were modern medicine is finding how this things are beneficial. The closer we get the more and more we will see how "the world" is one with torah. 

Here are some pieces from the article

Can separate beds be the key....

Sleeping in separate beds may have negative connotations for a happy couple, but new research has found that it can have beneficial results for both their relationship and their individual health.
According to a study from Ryerson University in Toronto, between 30 and 40per cent of couples sleep apart at night, and experts say the separation can actually help a relationship, rather than harm it.
Colleen Carney, the author of the study, told CBC: 'People will say they sleep better, but when we actually monitor their brains. . . they're continuously being woken up by movement or sound. It creates a lot of problems.....

Although the Torah does not say that couples should have separate rooms ( in fact it might be opposed to separate rooms -unless really necessary   it is still interesting to see how the trend is growing.

The National Association of Home Builders has found that the need for privacy has even begun to influence home design. They report that since 1990, the number of requests for homes with two master bedrooms has increased, and that by 2015, up to 60 percent of all upscale homes will have dual master bedrooms and bathrooms.

Obviously if the couple keeps the laws of family purity, and respects its laws "privacy" is included in the package and there is no need for a separate bedroom.
