Consultation and Counseling

"Consultation is…available for the individual in solving his own problems; he may consult with his Assembly, with his family and with his friends." ("Understanding Tests" letter on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, July 17, 1989)

"Neither you nor your husband should hesitate to continue consulting professional marriage counselors, individually and together if possible, and also to take advantage of the supportive counseling which can come from wise and mature friends. Non-Bahá'í counseling can be useful but it is usually necessary to temper it with Bahá'í insight." (On behalf of the Universal House of Justice:The Compilation of Compilations, Vol. II, "Preserving Bahá'í Marriages", p. 455)
