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 she went describing
the neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, and her feeling unloved
and being unlovable. She set out an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had
endured. Finally, 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. 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 play golf."
