A husband and wife came for counseling after 15
years of marriage. When
asked what the problem was, the wife went into a
passionate, painful tirade
listing every problem they had ever had in the
15 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 un-met needs she
had endured over the course of their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on 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 while
fondling her intimately.
The woman instantly shut up and quietly sat down
as though she was 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?"
The husband thought for a moment and replied,..
"Well, I can drop her off
here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I
play golf."
