"I’m not sure that I would want marriage counseling with a husband I did not choose. Hardly anyone in the post mentioned divorce, even though divorce is permitted in Islam. Marriage counseling is not horrendous advice, but it misses the mark."
Even if they get divorced marriage counseling in the meantime could prove helpful in that it could clarify to both of them the importance of getting to know one's partner well BEFORE actually marrying them, which can prove helpful in the event they divorce and both remarry other people in the future. Besides this point, counseling may help both of them in other areas like communication, respect, boundaries, etc, all of which are needed in life and relationships. I think therapy/counseling is something all humans could probably use and gain a lot from.
