Rabbi Shafier understands the biggest challenges other frustrated couples have to deal with:

BUT IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

He hears it all the time...

  • Do you doubt your ability to keep the spark alive as daily responsibilities start stacking up?
  • Struggling to express your needs in a way that isn’t a knock-out punch to your spouse's feelings?
  • Don’t know how to handle your bashert’s reaaaallly annoying habits without throwing in the towel?
  • Are you determined to avoid common marriage mess-ups…but you’re not sure what they are or how you’d fix them?
  • Perhaps you’re lacking a trustworthy, Torah-based mentor on marriage and Rabbi Google’s just not cutting it? 

This is why Rabbi Shafier created The Marriage Mastery Academy

Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover:

You know that question that’s been bugging you more than ten mosquito bites? A quick search through our database gives you an answer you can trust with actionable results. 

 

Got bigger problems ? 

Unfortunately, you’re not the only one. If you’re scared your dream marriage is starting to become a nightmare, our closely moderated community can help. It’s 100% anonymous, gender-segregated and more validating than your BFF and cup of hot coffee. And if you need more support, you can tap into our network of services, resources, and carefully vetted directory of professionals.

B’kitzur? Forget the endless uncertainty, doom-scrolling, and scary stats. MMA is like NOTHING you’ve ever seen or heard before- but works much better than figuring out this thing called marriage alone!

Who is this for?

If you’re an engaged couple and you’re determined to start off right

If you’re in Shana Rishona and want to make a good thing last forever

If your marriage is slowly turning into just another shade of beige

If your marriage needs urgent help

Especially for:

If you didn’t grow up with positive shalom bayis role models. Let’s face it, not everyone grew up as a Kanievsky

If you’re lacking a trustworthy mentor in your life (this applies to so many!)

If you already have an awesome relationship, but you simply want a proven system that will fireproof your home against inevitable challenges. (No marriage is immune to curveballs)

If you recognize that the most important relationship in your life deserves your full attention and hishtadlus- even if you feel overwhelmingly positive and excited about your future together.

If you’re bone-tired of hearing that ‘marriage is hard work’ and ‘you guys just need to be mevater’ type advice. Er, shkoyach?

Meet Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier

Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier is the founder of TheShmuz.com , a readily-relatable, Torah website designed to make big Jewish ideas easy to connect with. For almost twenty years, The Shmuz has been the address for advice on life, bitachon, and growing as a person—minus the fluff. Rabbi Shafier isn’t afraid to tackle real-life topics, from relationships to strengthening emunah, all with a hefty helping of humor and clarity. His goal? To help you live your best life as a valued member of Klal Yisroel, with the eternal wisdom of the Torah as your guide.


As a sought-after Rebbe for so many, Rabbi Shafier inevitably began helping couples strengthen their shalom bayis. But when he reached shaky marriage #1,000, he had a shocking realization: young couples were in big trouble. Seeing the same, painfully avoidable struggles on repeat, he gathered everything he’d learned into one resource.

With guidance and encouragement from Gedolei Yisroel, Rabbi Shafier packed his tried-and-tested hadracha into The Ten Really Dumb Mistakes That Very Smart Couples Make. This book quickly became an international bestseller across the Jewish world, resonating so strongly that it’s now also available in Hebrew and Spanish, helping couples like you build strong, lasting marriages.

"As a newlywed trying to navigate all the new and amazing opportunities, challenges, and obligations that come with being married, I would read a chapter of The 10 Really Dumb Mistakes that Very Smart Couples Make every night with my wife, and the lessons we learned were transformative!! We felt like the book was written for us!! All the examples and scenarios and so on point!! I can honestly say we would not be in the place we are now if we hadn’t read the book!! Highly recommended if not a flat out mandatory read for all couples!!"

"I read The 10 Really Dumb Mistakes that Very Smart Couples Make over and over again and never stop learning from this amazing book, not the constant clichés of divorce counselors, but a deep understanding of the essence of marriage between a man and a woman. Highly recommended!"

Frequently asked questions:

If you want the marriage of your dreams, this is for you.

I’ve put together a brand new playbook that will give you everything you could ever need to achieve lasting shalom bayis:

  • The exact two-step strategy I’ve used on countless couples that’s fun, easy, and doesn’t feel like work. (Even if you’re short on time, money, and ideas on how to connect).
  • How to navigate common marriage challenges that feel disastrous but are actually completely normal (at this point I really have heard it all).
  • Exactly what NOT to say to your spouse, unless you want them to hate you. (This is the #1 love buster in any marriage!)
  • Learn what you should do RIGHT NOW if you’re in a physical/emotional/spiritual stalemate with your spouse (it’s probably the opposite of what you’ve been told!) 
  • The ONLY rule you need to follow to have a dramatic impact on your shalom bayis. 

Let’s get real for a moment. 

It’s never been easier to find marriage advice but it’s never been harder to maintain a healthy marriage. 

The guidance out there ranges from hashkafically questionable to downright dangerous. I see the tragic fallout of well-meaning amateurs every single day.

This is why I’ve invested a fortune of hours into the Marriage Mastery Academy.

I’m not interested in profit, and I’m not another over-confident self-starter selling empty promises and platitudes.

With much siyata d’shamaya, I have personally couple-tested and applied this system in thousands of homes in hundreds of different situations- it just works. 

 

I hope you can join me,

Rabbi Shafier
