My DH and I are in a huge argument over a moral issue that the Bible doesn't specifically address. Do you think it is okay to seek Godly counsel from someone who my DH respects? I want to suggest this, but I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. I don't think this will get resolved unless a 3rd party steps in.

I definitely agree with you and your dh seeking Godly counsel. When me and my husband can't agree over something we always go to my father who is a preacher, or an elder in our chapel. It's good to get different opinions. Hope you get it resolved!

I would definitely say yes...as long as a) he is the one doing the asking or b) you have discussed it ahead of time and he is okay with you involving a third party. I would generally advise against that person being a member of your family though (been there done that...it's very difficult for family members to be objective in my opinion since they're naturally going to want to side with the person that they're related to).

One of the best things about my husband and I being members of a small group is that we have become close friends with one of the couples in the group. We both respect them and have been able to approach them several times for godly counsel (and vice versa).

I pretty much agree with the previous posters. It should be someone that you both mutually respect and trust and preferably outside the family. That can get kinda sticky! But sometimes it does take a 3rd party to be more objective.
