After 45 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 golf."
