The card kit that has captivated religious couples in Israel is now also available in a digital English version.

Many couples in the early years of marriage report a growing sense of distance—not because of a lack of love, but simply because there’s no time or way to really talk.

Precisely during a time when life is filled with tasks, screens, and expectations, the Kartisiach kit was born: a simple, original, and touching tool that encourages emotional, open, and respectful dialogue between partners—in a natural, intimate, and non-threatening way.

The kit, developed by Nathanel and Racheli Weiss, veteran marriage counselors from the town of Tal Menashe, has gained great popularity in recent years among religious and traditional couples.

Now, it is being launched for the first time in a digital English version—allowing couples from around the world to discover the depth and closeness that lies in a single, simple conversation.

Kartisiach's uniqueness lies in its simplicity: each card guides a deep, experiential conversation and invites the couple to deepen their connection around the topic presented, using sentence starters in the first person (for example, from the “Gifts” card: “The way I most like to receive gifts…”, “There are times I feel uncomfortable receiving a gift, like when…”, “When I buy someone a gift and they exchange it, I feel…” and “When you give me a gift, I…”)—and users are asked to complete the sentence freely, from within themselves.

This is not a relationship interrogation—there’s no judgment, no need for eloquence or exceptional courage—just a willingness to share and to listen.

The cards are divided into various themes: relationship, family, childhood, challenges, daily life, dreams, intimacy, and more.

Each theme is color-coded and styled differently, allowing for personal customization based on the couple’s emotional state.

Kartisiach is not meant to treat a “problematic” relationship—it is designed to reveal the depth that already exists within it.

The creators emphasize recognizing differences between partners as an opportunity for growth—not a problem to be solved.

Through gentle and empathetic phrasing, the kit succeeds in addressing even sensitive topics—without triggering resistance.

Intimacy—With Holiness:

Alongside the emotional cards, the kit also includes a full section dedicated to physical connection between partners—in a unique, modest, and uplifting approach.

It’s not about bold challenges or embarrassing tasks, but rather questions that invite honest, respectful, and sometimes even healing conversations between partners who may experience this area very differently—and who want to better understand one another and align their expectations so that physical intimacy becomes closer, more fulfilling, and far more connecting.

The English digital edition is available for purchase on the website, with no download required.

You can browse by category, pull a random card, and return to conversation—whenever you wish.

Whether you're a young couple just starting out, a long-time pair seeking to rekindle your bond, or a professional in the field of couples counseling—Kartisiach offers a simple and precise experience of listening, discovery, and closeness.
