The two quickly hit it off and began dating, embarking on a journey that would ultimately lead to a beautiful marriage. While Gershon had established himself as a successful entrepreneur in America with his company, Metropolitan Drapery and Blinds, he was more than happy to give it all up to come to the US with Aleeza and help her set up her matchmaking business.

When Aleeza decided to pursue her dream of becoming a matchmaker, her husband Gershon Ben Shalom did not hesitate to support her. Although he had a successful career in America and owned his own company selling blinds and shades, Gershon made the selfless decision to leave all that behind to help Aleeza build her business. He generously gave up his own career to support his wife and follow her to their new home so she could focus on building her career as a matchmaker. But Gershon's support did not stop there. When the couple moved to a new city, he took on the role of stay-at-home dad and put his own career on hold to help his wife grow her business. He is currently taking time off to find a new career.
