anIsraeliYid,
So no, it’s not necessarily a bad thing that counselors can hasten divorce.
To be clear, I was not intending to imply that the intentions of marriage counselors in my question to CTLawyer above were desirable or right. Joseph’s OP seems to be a polemic against marriage counseling, because marriage counseling “fails” most of the time. But there is a difference between utilizing counseling to better a relationship, and utilizing counseling to help with the path of separation. I suspect that CTLawyer’s observation quoted by the OP is true at least in part because he sees the results of counseling for the latter purpose a lot of the time.
