’90 Day Fiance’: Should Tiffany Franco & Ronald Smith Take Marriage Advice from Family Member?
90 Day Fiance fans had a lot to say about Tiffany Franco and Ronald Smith seeking marriage advice from a family member. The TLC couple’s marriage is on the rocks. But, could speaking to Ronald’s uncle help them?
90 Day Fiance: Tiffany Franco & Ronald Smith Seek Marriage Counseling
Ronald Smith was caught off guard when Tiffany Franco told him that she saw a divorce lawyer. The 90 Day Fiance cast member thought that he was doing everything right. In the past, he was against going to therapy with his wife. But, Ronald wants to make sure he does whatever he can to fix his marriage. So, he and Tiffany decided to go to couple’s counseling and see his uncle.
The 90 Day Fiance reality star’s uncle, Pastor Paul, asked Tiffany Franco if she had any objections speaking to him since he is family. She didn’t seem to have a problem. However, she felt that if Ronald Smith brought her to speak to his uncle because he thought he would take his side, she felt that would be wrong. Ronald clarified that he picked his uncle because he would “say it like it is.”

Pastor Paul told Ronald Smith that he must do his part in the marriage. He said that if his nephew doesn’t give attention to the small things, it will destroy his marriage to Tiffany Franco. He explained that Ronald is the head of the household, and his job is to put his wife and family first. Pastor Paul’s advice for Tiffany is that she needs to “boost Ronald’s ego” so he will want to do more.
Fans React to Tiffany & Ronald Getting Advice from Uncle
Many 90 Day Fiance viewers felt that there was nothing wrong with Ronald Smith and Tiffany Franco getting marriage advice from Pastor Paul. One person was shocked that his uncle “seemed to stay professional” and didn’t take sides. Another person thought that Pastor Paul “stayed unbiased” while speaking to Ronald and Tiffany. According to a fan, the TLC star’s family member also didn’t side with either him or Tiffany. The fan liked that he told them “to get it together and stop criticizing each other.”
However, some 90 Day Fiance viewers believed that Ronald Smith’s uncle did the counseling session for free. So, that could be why he and Tiffany Franco decided to see him. One person said that “real therapy requires money,” which they don’t think Ronald has since he spent all his money on Christmas decorations and polony. Another person felt that Ronald only saw Pastor Paul because “it was probably free.”
Viewers were also speculating that Ronald Smith’s uncle isn’t a licensed therapist. They believed that he is a “pastor who has had training” in the field. So, it wouldn’t be “extremely unethical” talking to him about marriage issues. Some viewers even said that it’s normal to speak to your pastor when there are issues in a relationship.
90 Day Fiance Couple Getting Marriage Help from Family Bad Idea?
Yet, many viewers thought that Tiffany Franco and Ronald Smith shouldn’t have seen Pastor Paul for marriage counseling. One fan felt that it was “unethical” and a “conflict of interest.” According to a viewer, therapy is confidential and not something you discuss with a family member.
However, some 90 Day Fiance fans didn’t like the advice Ronald Smith’s relative gave the TLC couple. One fan doesn’t agree that “wives need to boost their husband’s ego” to make a marriage work. Another person didn’t like the message that “husbands behave poorly because their wives don’t boost their egos.” They felt that Pastor Paul was “blaming the wife.”
