Marriage Problems

[LaoPo]

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, 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.

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?"

The husband thought for a moment and replied,..

"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on

Fridays, I fish."
