Unusual therapy.

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, 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 three times a week.  Can you do this?”

 

 “Well,” said the husband, “I can drop her off here on Mondays and

 Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish.”
