Subject: Marriage Counseling

 

 

 

A husband and wife came for counseling after 15 years of marriage. When

 

asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, pain ful tirade

 

listing every problem they had ever had.

 

 

 

She went on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness,

 

feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had

 

endured over the course of their marriage.

 

 

 

Finally, after allowing this to continue for a length of time, the therapist

 

got up, walked around the desk, asked the wife to stand, and embraced and

 

kissed her passionately.

 

 

 

The woman 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?"

 

 

 

The husband thought for a moment and replied, "Well, I can drop her off here

 

on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, & Weekends I go Flying"
