Their ability to be objective about your issues doesn't preclude their having issues of their own.

My DH and I were in couples counseling together. Our therapist was divorced. So what? He still saved our marriage.[/quote]

The concern is not the counselor having "issues of their own" but their ability to do anything about those issues. If they are divorced, that is positive proof that their ability to resolve marital issues and to provide useful advice to prevent divorce is extremely weak.[/quote]

So you think they cannot provide an objective view? That’s just silly and short-sighted of you.[/quote]

It doesn't matter how "objective" their views are. What matters is their [i]actual advice[/i]. They couldn't provide or implement effective advice[i] in their own lives[/i], it is ridiculous to expect them to be able to help you.

Using a divorced couples counselor is like using a morbidly obese dietitian.[/quote]

Well, you’ll just have to accept my word that Linda was able to help us, divorced or not. [/quote]
