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 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."
