Boudeaux & Marie get counseling

Published 8:34 am Monday, December 29, 2014

After 35 years of marriage, Boudreaux & Marie came for counseling. When asked what the problem was, the Marie went into a passionate, painful 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 Marie to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as Boudreaux watched with a raised eyebrow.

Marie shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to Boudreaux and said, ‘this is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?’

‘Boudreaux said, Mais, Ah can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, Ah fish.’
