Long-term relationships and marriages are hard to maintain. Even the most loving relationships can show wear and tear after a while and you have to work to maintain a stable marriage. One of the things that some couples have tried to do is go to marriage counseling together to see if they can work on their issues with a licensed therapist who can sort of advise them and help them get through their issues. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but in most cases, it can’t hurt. I did know one couple who went to a marriage counselor and they ended up divorcing. The wife later told me that it was because of the counseling. Through someone else’s eyes, she was able to see her husband for what he was: a decent guy who wasn’t the right person for her to spend her life with, and one who was unwilling to work on himself. Enjoy this hilarious joke below.
A couple decided to attend therapy sessions after their marriage started to fall apart due to everyday arguments. They had been married for over three decades.
Tons of disagreements and fights later, a couple finally went for a marriage therapy session. They had a lot to share about why their relationship was not working, and the counselor was all ears.
“So what do you think are your problems in this marriage, ma’am?” the counselor asked.
“Well, well. Where do I start? This husband of mine does not care about me anymore. There is an evident lack of intimacy and I feel empty because he makes me feel like I’m unlovable.”
“Hmm. Please, go on,” the counselor urged.
“I’m tired of feeling lonely and unwanted. He doesn’t even bother with physical intimacy anymore,” the woman complained.
She went on and on about the things that she didn’t like about her husband’s overall attitude towards her. The counselor listened intently and finally when she stopped talking, he got up and paced around the room for a few minutes.
Suddenly, he asked the woman to stand up. Then he embraced her ever so tenderly as the woman stared at him in disbelief. Before she could open her mouth to speak, he gave her a long and passionate kiss on the lips. All the while, the husband watched the man kiss his wife.
He finally detached himself from the woman who was visibly swooning. Her face was flushed, and she hadn’t protested while the counselor kissed her.
The counselor turned to her husband and said, “Good sir, this is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do it?”
“Sure. I can drop her off here any day from Monday to Thursday, but on Fridays, I go fishing.”
