Reply To: what does "Get refusal" mean?

Meno or anyone, could you please elaborate on your statement, “Just a heads up, a good counselor won’t try to convince you or your wife of anything.” Several counselors I spoke to said exactly this. I’m not using them. I want a marriage counselor who will gather the facts; make a determination & tell one of us what he thinks, e.g., get divorced or stay married. The marriage counselor we’re using in Lakewood said if he thought the marriage should stay intact; he would definitely try convincing the parties. Is my counselor wrong? Is there anything in the ethics that say the counselor can’t try keeping marriages intact where one party just wants a divorce? Thanks.
