True friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation. George Washington.Husband and wife come to a 'Relationship Therapist'. When asked what the problem was, the wife outlined every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. The list was exhaustive: Neglect, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire shopping list of unmet needs she had endured and in particular lack of intimacy. 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 the start of every day. What do you say?
“Well, yes, I see what you mean. Look, I can drop her off here every morning… except on Wednesday, when I go to Rotary.”
