Re: [Cz-L] Marriages.

On Czernowitz marriages:

Hardy is right, while we lived in Czernowitz and vicinity, people married
within the circle of people they knew or occasionally they married the
people they were introduced to, by friends and relatives. Once we left
Czernowitz, Czernowitz or Bukovina brides were still considered by
Czernowitz and Bukovina bachelors, the most desirable ones.
They were good "Balebustes" (housekeepers), they were good cooks, they would
not squander money, they would make their husbands proud to take them out,
or to bring guests home.

In the living room, they behaved like ladies, in the kitchen, they were good
cooks and in bed, they were completely uninhibited. Or so was it believed.

All my bachelor relatives were convinced of this and if they lived somewhere
where there were no Czernowitz single young women, like Panama, or Curacao,
they asked their relatives in Israel, to find one and send her to them.
