Marriage Counseling
After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came 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.
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 fish.'
