A husband and wife came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When  asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate,  painful  tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years  they  had been married. 
  She went 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 over the course of their marriage. 

  Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of  time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the  wife  to stand ,! embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband  watched  with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.  

 The therapist turned to the husband and said, 'This is what your wife  needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?'  

 The husband thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays. but the rest of the week I am sailing.'
