When we get married, it becomes one of the most important relationships that we have in life. We tend to cherish that relationship and we want to see it grow and thrive as we continue to move through life together as a couple. As anybody who was married can tell you, however, things don’t always work out perfectly and there are going to be issues that we face along the way. In the following joke, we get to hear about how one couple handle those issues and it doesn’t exactly turn out like we would expect.
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 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 Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays I fish.”
