After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife went to see a therapist.
When asked what the problem was, the wife launched into a tirade, listing every issue they had faced during their years of marriage.
She went on and on about neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable—an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured.
Finally, after allowing her to speak 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, while her husband watched with a raised eyebrow.
The woman fell silent and quietly sat down, as though in a daze.
The therapist then turned to the husband and said,
“This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do that?”
The husband replied, “Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish.”
