After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife (we won't mention who, OK) 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 week days, ................but I go snowmobiling on the weekends.
