A question sent in to Dr. Leslie Parrott of Today’s Christian Woman:
My husband and I have been together for 13 years and have two daughters. We argue a lot and spend the rest of the time not talking to each other. I want to go to counseling, but he says he doesn’t believe in it because it’s “not biblical.” I don’t know what I can do if he won’t work on our problems. Help!
Here is an excerpt from her answer to the question:
I appreciate your question. And I must confess it saddens me, as a Christian counselor, that your husband would spiritualize his resistance to counsel. I don’t know how he supports his stance—the Bible is full of encouragement to seek wise counsel (Proverbs 12:15, 13:10, 15:22, and 19:20, for starters). But it sounds as though you won’t get far by trying to prove him wrong.
