I am honored that you picked this quotation out form my post ion another thread.
Everyone should be aware that I am referring to counselling by a licensed therapist (social worker, psychologist, etc.) not a clergy member when making this observation. In fact, our court system which requires counseling prior to divorce lays out the categories of authorized counselors and does not include pastoral counseling.
My statement should not be taken to impugn the advice of a couple’s Rav, or possible success or failure in saving the marriage by that Rav.
