The fact is that a lot of folks have gone to school for 3 weeks or have some type of certification but are the pitifull-ist counselors you have ever seen. So called "Christian" counselors misusing and misquoting scriptures. I know someone who had a "Christian counselor who basically told her the problems in her marriage were because she was not submissive enough. Now, I truly believe in Biblical submission of the wife to the husband,l but how you gon' tell somebody that their husband is on drugs or addicted to porn or sleeping around and it is because you are not submissive enough? Sorry, I don't think so.

I definitely think that pre-marital counseling is a good idea (although I'm not married and have never experienced it). I have to admit that I'd be burned up if a counselor tried to tell me to submit to my future husband. I just don't believe that just b/c I was born with female genitalia instead of male genitalia that he should have the say. What is the logic in that?
If anything, I think that whoever is more well-versed on whatever the subject matter of the particular decision, should have the final say - and the other should submit to that person.
I'm sure that I'll get flamed by the bible quoters but oh well.
