Several weeks ago someone (J.Martillo ?) mentioned that honeymoons are frowned upon by Orthodoxy. I aksed for an explanation over the net, but NOONE took the time or energy to illuminate this issue. I am really very interested in the reasons for disapproving of the custom of honeymooning. Since we have so many theological experts who regularly contribute to net.religion.jewish, of every degree of observance, and also so many students of Jewish history and culture, could one of you out there comment on the theological and/or cultural problems with honeymoons. Summer was a slow season on the net; the Sephardic/Ashkenazi tournaments seem to be suspended (when does the season open again?), so maybe someone could comment on the honeymoon issue.
