yes. you can still give great advice even if you've never gone through the experience first hand. like how you trust a midwife, even though many won't have gone through childbirth themselves.
Marriage counseling and or therapy is the biggest waist of time, energy and money. If therapy is needed, go alone not with your SO where one or both people care more about making the other person be seen as the problem rather than focusing on actually fixing the relationship
They can never understand what it feels like to be in a marriage and the reality for the challenges faced. Book learning and experiencing are very different.
Would you hire a fitness coach who wasn't in shape? Or a blind person to be a lifeguard? Or someone with a lot of clutter at home (defs a hoarder) to streamline your home/office? I believe I have made my point.

If any females answered yes to this question lol that shows their stupidity for real. That’s like me getting advice on how to lose weight from an overweight person.

No, but I would never go to one anyway.
That's like hiring a mechanic that has never worked on a car
Yes, I would, actually. Because they are free from external pressures.
Most of the responses you've got to this question are absolutely ridiculous
Yeah. Personal failure doesn't determine profesional credibility.
I wouldn't trust him/her. On the other hand, empathy, which is an essential trait for a colindelor, comes from experience.
no way! even if he studied i would not rely on someone who did not experience a marriage relationship.
You're hiring them for their professional expertise, not their personal life.
Yeah you don’t have to be in a relationship to give good advice
Relationships are relationships. Wtf is the difference if you are married or not? Do you think a silly religious paper changes your relationship?
one without a bias?
I know love has its time, but to me that sounds as illogical as going to a dentist who has never taken good care of their teeth.

That would be like hiring a personal trainer who is morbidly obese.
No, of course not.
they were smart enough not to get married.
