I have a question about the quote of Rav Miller, zt”l from the article:
>I know a case of a woman who goes to a marriage counselor. So I asked who is it?
> It�s a she. Is she married? No. So what kind of marriage counselor is it? It�s like taking
> driving lessons from somebody who never drove a car.

I’m in no position spiritual, experiential or educational to argue; I’m just trying to understand.

This logic doesn’t apply universally. Patients needn’t seek treatment from only those physicians suffering the same condition nor are only plumbers whose faucets leak qualified to repair them.

Yes, can certainly see the need to avoid those who don’t adhere to daas Torah in spiritual matters like marriage. Perhaps one should seek out only those counselors/rabbanim who have themselves gone through divorce?
