After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife went in for counseling. When
asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade
listing every problem they had ever had in the 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.
Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist
got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, 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 3
times a week Can you do this?'
"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I
go fishing," replied the hubby.
