Marriage guidance
A husband and wife came for counselling after 20 years of marriage.
When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate,
painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years
they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of
intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an
entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of
their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time,
the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the
wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched
with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as
though in a daze.
The therapist turned to the husband and said, 'This is what your wife
needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?'
The husband thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her
off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I go fishing.
