Brother John: I do agree with your opinion that every congregation must have a qualified couselor to help the married couples. If the counselor was
landed from India and if he or she is trying to counsel with the Indian mentality of fatalism, also finding more fault and weakness with the wife,
that counseling will create more frictions at home. Years back, husbands used work to earn the income to feed the family, now to live in prosperity and luxury, both the husband and wife have to work. Our love for more material things of the world will create more tensions in the family life. If we are poor with the material things of the world, the spiritual leaders will look us down as divinely cursed people because the U.S. made prosperity gospel has brainwashed them. The counselors
must be qualified, totally open minded to be effective in this job.
