I have a very dear friend whose marriage after 20 years is now "On the Rocks".
He and his wife are currently going to a guidance counsellor.
When confiding in him I asked what was the cause or the main cause of the apparent break down. De dearly loves his wife and is desparately keen to save the relationship. He says the main cause is financial and sexual.
I want to help in the best manner possible without interfering. But I want to help them in such a way by turning and praying to God. However i'm not qualified to discuss such issues. The problem is He's not religious at all but believes in God.
What is Islam's stand point about trying to help a failing marriage and the related issues as mentioned above. Does Islam approve of marriage counsellors? And how does the Islamic community deal with such matters?
