About
We started Jewish-Gentile Couples 30 years ago when we noticed the unique challenges that intermarried couples were facing.
Social research says 75% of intercultural couples from different religious experiences face the likelihood of marital dissatisfaction or divorce. Our goal is to give couples hope: you don’t have to be a statistic!
Who We Are
Jewish Gentile Couples offers the most spiritually-focused and personalized relationship coaching for interfaith couples in North America. We believe cost should never stand in the way of finding support, which is why our services and resources are free.
We understand what you're facing—because we’ve lived it. Our coaches are a blend of Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus. Many of our coaches are in or from interfaith families, and we’ve navigated the challenges that come with that. And for nearly two decades through the support of Jews for Jesus, we’ve helped marginalized relationships like yours find hope.
Dr. Tuvya Zaretsky
Founder
Tuvya holds a Doctorate in Intercultural Studies from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. And he draws on 30 years of experience supporting and coaching interfaith couples.
Our Work
We help couples with one Jewish partner communicate better with each other. All communication is cross-cultural. So, we work with both partners to increase their understanding of one another. We apply skills as counselors, coaches, or mentors—according to your needs.
We provide a respectful and safe space for the two of you to explore and translate your different cultural perspectives. Once communication improves, discussions can turn to building spiritual harmony. Part of our job is to affirm you both in your cultures, beliefs, and family stories.
