"Does the Rabbi have any practical advice for making one's spouse seem more attractive than they really are? Besides for focusing on their good  qualities, how can I make my spouse more attractive in my eyes, without  actually changing their appearance? I'm not a shallow person and looks  certainly aren't everything. But sometimes I struggle in this area.  Thanks in advance."  learn more www.lawrencekelemen.com

Rabbi Kelemen said previously that no one is intrinsically an addict or intrinsically has an anger problem etc. everyone can change. I was brought up with this concept but I find myself hitting a brick wall when it comes to labels. When someone has been diagnosed with high functioning autism, OCD, or ADHD. Many medical people and others, that I  have encountered, see these people as stuck in their diagnosis. Yes,  they can move somewhat up and down the scale but they are who they are. I  see these labels as signposts. If I have been diagnosed with Autism I  have extra avodah in the area of empathy, just as the next person has extra avodah in the area of anger or jealousy. If I am diagnosed with  OCD I need to work on my Bitachon to a greater degree then the next person and so on. My question is: is my thinking flawed?  Most people and professionals I meet seem to see the world differently. visit https://www.lawrencekelemen.com/ for more

A) I know and believe that the idea of "conversion therapy" is wrong  and, in fact, seems to have very painful results... However, if one's  genetic makeup is only weekly connected to that attraction, from a  scientific perspective, why is it so harmful. Is it just because the  societal pull and acceptance is already so great, that from their very  real perspective, they are identifying is LGBTQ, and you can't change  that? 

B) I know we lump LGBTQ together as one. But are there differences? I  would think that LG is a very different genetic reality than Q.

Do you believe there is a "shidduch crisis"? As to singles over age 30, do you believe there is a "shidduch crisis"? How would you define what the crisis is? What can and should the Jewish community do to help older singles? Do you think a shul should try to help by organizing "singles events" for these older singles or is it better to have events not targeted solely to singles so that singles expand their social networks and perhaps get set up by new friends?
