Have you ever been to marriage counseling? I’ve heard that it’s very effective for some people and it definitely has saved several marriages. However, I think both people have to be committed to the counseling process and most importantly, both parties have to want to save the marriage. In many cases, people agree to marriage counseling to appease their spouse even if they have a conviction that the marriage is doomed. However, they may want to prove that they were willing to at least try. In my opinion, this isn’t enough. If one of the people in a marriage honestly just wants out, marriage counseling is a waste of time. In the joke below, it seems that the husband isn’t really serious about saving his marriage. Enjoy this joke!
A husband and wife go to a counselor after 15 years of marriage. The counselor asks them what the problem is.
The wife goes into a tirade, listing every problem they have ever had in the 15 years they’ve been married. She goes on and on and on.
Finally, the counselor gets up, goes around the desk, embraces the woman, and kisses her passionately.
The woman shuts up and sits quietly in a daze.
The counselor turns to the husband and says, “That is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do that?”
The husband thinks for a moment and replies, “Well, I can get her here Monday and Wednesday; but Friday, I play golf.”
