Agreed, I didn't mean to imply they don't. I just feel it's harder to offer guidance to married couples when you don't have an understanding of the problems married couples face. It be like me trying to teach someone something that I'd not had experience in. You can possibly do it to a degree but not quite as well as if you'd had experience.
I don't think that that is necessarily true. Sometimes someone who knows nothing about either party and doesn't take sides, not having been there, can see what's happening more clearly.
Maybe it's harder--but there are no such things as "new" marital problems; nor are there problems in marriage which cannot be resolved with clear analysis guided by unchanging principles, something which all men of the cloth should have in their bag of tricks.
