Mission Briefing 42: Saving Relationships, Not Ending Them - Not All "Counselors" Give Good Advice

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose discusses the significance of finding a good counselor and the importance of restoring relationships rather than ending them. He shares his experiences with both giving and receiving counseling and the potential harm caused by a bad counselor who advised him to leave his marriage based on personal happiness rather than what is right. Goose emphasizes the importance of communication and conflict resolution skills in repairing relationships and warns against counselors who encourage ending relationships or labeling them as toxic. He suggests that such counselors may be motivated by popularity and their advice could contradict Christian teachings. All in all, Goose encourages individuals to seek counseling from someone who will help them see that relationship problems are temporary and provide tools to fix them.
