This thought came across to me because of a recent bad experience I had when I chose a local Christian counselor for my kids.<P>At Steve's suggestion, I sought out advice from my Pastor about getting some family counseling for my daughters. The wife was invited, too, but as expected refused to attend. I went with the girls to a local Christian counselor that was recommended and was elated to see a copy of "His Needs, Her Needs," in the waiting room. Unfortunately, when I talked with the counselor she had never heard of Dr. Harley and thought his principles that I described were terrible. She felt I was hurting my self esteem and could probably do nothing about the situation I was in. Needless to say, that was my only visit to this place.<P>I might suggest that the Harleys build some type of network with counselors that really endorse what they are doing. I believe I remember that someone said something about the MB principles working for not only couples, but extended families as well. I think it would be a great benefit to all.

AH:<P>At one time, you could call the MarriageBuilder's office and get a list of counselors who used Harley's materials. I think that the counselors were encouraged to sign up on the website here (and I can't find the link, so maybe this ended up to be a failed effort). MB couldn't vouch for their qualifications, but at least they were supposed to be familiar with the methodology.<P>I think the intention was there, at least at one time. Call the office and find out if they're still doing it.
