Description: What is a counselor? What is a marriage counselor? Many definitions might be written and certainly we should draw from Daniel Webster for a start. The root word “counsel” means Advice, opinion, and deliberation together, one who gives advice, especially legal, a lawyer, and an advocate. The verb transitive means Advise, admonish, recommend. ”Adding the suffix” or “would give us the understanding of” to advice, to admonish, to recommend.” So, we would expect that a marriage counselor is one who gives advice or counsel on marriage.
