Cantonese:I do. I have over 5 commentaries on my study desk as a matter of fact. 1 Corinthians 7:1-2 (NIV) Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.[1] THE PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE IS NOT TO CURB ADULTERY OR FORNICATION. God wills it for companionship and mutual friendship. This is totally in contrast with what Paul admonished. According to Paul, as long as you can control your flesh and you are not given to lust, IT IS BETTER NOT TO MARRY. O wrong. Read God's perspective on marriage and put it up against Paul's. Please use popular commentaries, including Adam Clarke's. 1 Like 1 Share |

All these people saying a priest should not give marriage counselling because he doesn't have experience or has never been married, shebi a medical doctor has to experience cancer and all the diseases they cure before they can be qualified to treat them? Abi a psychiatrist has to run mad first before he can be qualified to treat mentally disturbed patients? To become a catholic priest is not like attending a bible college for a couple of years. It is a long journey that involves deep studies both on the religious level and the layman's life because it is the laity that he will be ministering to. Marriage counselling is part of their study curriculum. So yes, a catholic priest is well qualified to give marriage counselling based both on qualifications and knowledge of the numerous experiences he has witnessed from the other parishioners whom he has previously counseled. Besides, the younger priests are always free to consult the older ones or even their respective bishops for guidance when needed. 7 Likes |

Kiddo01: If Jesus and the unmarried apostles were qualified why not? Anyway, Nigerians should always give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser. If the problem between the spouses are legal or non-religious, they should be seeing a marriage counselor or legal advice. Thanks |

The foundation of everything always underline the out come of the matter. When they were about to get married did they seek advice from the priest before their first kiss, sex or even deciding to marry each other? No! So why now? From experience any relationship that is getting a third party involve is bound to suffer. You two know your selves better than anyone else do do the best thing to do is to settle your difference at home. Marriage is not a do or die affair if the both of you agree that it's no longer working between you then go your separate ways. I can't come and kill my self look around you how many widows do you see and why is that? |

From the perspective of a married person, 1 million qualified married You see these vices called Ego, Pride, Bitterness, laziness, lack of communication and financial issues are the major causes of downfall in marriages. Some people are bitter humans that they see every innocent actions of their spouse, in-laws and neighbors as reasons to quarrel. They assume every body is their enemy. Some will let Ego and pride kill them. Humility is never in their books. When one spouse offends the other, just to say "you are sorry' is an herculean task. Some just to accept apology is wahala. Yet will go on to vow for better for worse in church. |

Any one who has the right knowledge can give marital advice. Single or married. Reverend father or not. Paul in the Bible was not married but he was the one that taught marriage most in the New Testament. I'm married now. But I have been giving marital counseling from my single days. 1 Like |

Advice is better given from a neutral point of view. They're so qualified as any happily married couple because as a result experiences accumulated over time from their trainings , different postings to different parishes, cultures and peoples backed up with laid down principles of good Christian and catholic marriage and family. |

Most of the mysteries about Christian marriage was given by Apostle Paul in the bible. Marriage is a spiritual mystery. So if a Reverend Father has gained enough scriptural knowledge, he should be able to counsel married couples. |

Rev. Frs are the most qualified persons to give advice on marital issues. They don't give based on sentiments. Pastors and very religious people are the worst to have as husbands because the only verse they remember is the one that says he's the Lord and Master hence they give the worst marital advice. |

Marriage is an institution ordained by God. God also gave marriage’s instruction manual in the Bible. If humans follow God’s instructions on marriage, marriage will be a bliss. The Reverend Father studies this marriage manual and advices couples with marital problems based on Biblical doctrines. Most so-called experiences are based on cultural backgrounds which differs and may not be in tandem with God’s own instructions. For example , in the Bible marriage is between a man and a woman. But today we have marriages between man and man; woman and woman, man and child (underage) etc. God hates divorce but man sees divorce as normal. I can go on and on. But the bottom line is that the person who is knowledgeable in God’s own laws on marriage can give profitable advice on marriage. In this case, a Reverend Father is qualified |
