Samething as wives who look to Oprah for advice when running their families.
What are they going to gain from advice from oprah.

Priests are qualified to counsel married couples because they grew up in a family and experienced by treating many family problems of different parishoners over the years. They must not necessarily be married to counsel just like football coaches must not be necessarily be retired footballers. The successful football coaches in the recent time were never footballers.

you cant counsel a couple except you are married yourself. There are so many things that make up a marriage.You can compare football coach to marriage. one can become a coach by merely watching football tapes,but you cant be a marriage councellor to a woman that is sex starved by her husband, because we are made to understand that they dont have sex talkless of keeping a girl friend.So forget the fact that they grew up in a family,does the Rev. father knows what goes on when his parents quarell and so on.Coming from a family is not enough.

I QUITE AGREE WITH YOU,YOU CANT GIVE WHAT YOU DONT HAVE,I CANT PERSONALLY RELEASE MY WIFE TO A REV.FATHER FOR COUNSELLING BECAUSE WHAT WOULD HE ADVISE HER ON?

Book knowledge is always limited, those with first hand knowledge from practice are better for such advice.

can a potter advice a gold seller?

Marriage is not something for experimentation( it is written or dem say dem say). U must know what U are talking

Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by luxoire(f): 1:17pm On May 07, 2009
why oh why are some of you so narrow minded and short sighted? forget the physical constraints put on a priest by his religion and think that he is as spiritually rich as your married pastor - for your married pastor may even be in a worst boat as he may be married, but be divorced with children who are unruly etc, his experience may influence his teachings.

that a rev father has never been married does not mean he is not qualified to counsel you on marriage. They counsel you on how to have Christian marriage. how to make sure the foundation of your marriage is based on christian values. how to ensure your marriage succeeds through trials and tribulations, because you put God in it's center. You live a christian life and that in its own makes forgives easier, makes love effortless and makes marriage blissfull, because you always trust God to reveal himself always and see you through the hard times, praising him in the good times.
in every church the 'head ' of the church is considered the most experienced person in christian teachings and principles. so you turn to them for guidance NOT solutions to your marriage problems.

who is to say a pastor with matrimonial problems; what one would consider an unhealthy marriage or problems at home, with unruly children who have drifted away from God (and forget their unified face, alot of pastors have marriage problems - they too are human) is in the best position to offer advise to couples with new born babies (who may be happier in their marriage the the pastor) or offer advise on how to raise kids closer to the church?

Pastor is priest they both have their advantages and disadvantages I think if a couple trusts their priest / pastor to guide them through their marriage life, then that priest will do so with the power of the Holy Spirit and though that the spirit will manifest itself in his words and advise.

LOOK NOT ON THE PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS POSED BY THEIR RELIGION OR WAY OF WORSHIP BUT RATHER LOOK ONTO THEIR FAITH, THEIR RICHNESS IN SPIRIT AND CLOSENESS TO CHRIST. they are merely a vessel to deliver God's Good News to us, married or single, rich or poor, black or white - they preach the same message of FAITH in God and living a Christ-like (christian) life in marriage and everything you do.

I believe Rev. fathers are qualified to give marriage counsel however, you may get a better advice and counsel from a married person.
saying that they are not qualified because they not married is same thing as saying you have to be once mad to be a good psychiatrist.

Whilst i think it is advisable to seek advise from sensible older people, it doesnt mean Reverend fathers are qualified to advise couples!

Will sensible couples take an advise from a Reverend father who impregnates young ladies and shags married women in his place of worship?

the highlighted is not just related to Rev fathers - pastors do it too - infact some of them may they THINK they are BETTER to do it, because their religion does not require them to be celibate LIES!!
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by segyemaro(m): 4:56pm On May 08, 2009
