After
35 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 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 play golf." |
