Christian Marriage Counseling and Other Marriage Counseling Providers
Christian marriage counseling, Jewish marriage counseling, Muslim marriage counseling, and non-secular marriage counseling are all subsets of marriage counseling. Historically, mental health providers offered only individual counseling. Marriage and relationship counseling as a unique and specific discipline is a recent phenomenon. Prior to the late 20th century, marriage counseling was an informal social role provided by family, church and temple leaders, or intimate friends. In some societies marriage counseling is offered by a tribal or village elder or even a shaman. People who choose specific religious counseling (for example,

) are looking to find a marriage or relationship therapist with beliefs and philosophies that are in alignment with their particular religion. Regardless of whether you are seeking Jewish marriage counseling or some form of non-secular marriage counseling, from a professional view these marriage and relationship counselors should all hold fast to ethical codes, professional standards, utilize supervision when required, and seek advice from suitable diagnostic texts.
