Reply To: Predicting success of marriages and Kesher with a Rov

depends who the rav is. not all ravs know how to advise people correctly in difficult situations. there are some rabbeim who are amazing; while many others can give dangerous and/or harmful advice. a person who has s’micha can answer halacha sheilos, but may not have the ability to answer relationship shailos (even if they have a great marriage).
