But, if you were having serious marriage problems would you feel confident in going to a marriage counselor that has never been married, has no plans to ever get married and who cannot speak from experience about the problems married people have? An unmarried marriage counselor can only preach at you.
A married one can empathize and make suggestions on what they know works from experience.
Your points in post 95 make an excellent case.

Besides, what does the Word say?
For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mothers womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heavens sake. He who is able to accept it, should accept it.
