After 30 years of marriage, a husband and
wife came for counseling.
When asked what the problem was, the wife
went into a 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, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her
husband watched – with a raised eyebrow.
The woman shut up and quietly sat down 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."
