A couple attended marriage counseling to resolve
communication problems. The fighting and bickering during
the session was so bad the counselor called for a timeout
and told them he was ending the session early but had an
assignment for the husband.
“John,” the marriage counselor said, “you’re an
athletic guy… here’s what I want you to do.
I want you to jog 10 miles everyday for the next 30 days.
At the end of the 30 days call me and let me know how things are going.”
John agreed.
At the end of the 30 days, John called the marriage
counselor very excited. “I did just as you said and
I have never felt better in my life!” he exclaimed over the phone.
“Great!” replied the counselor, “ And how’s your wife?”
John paused and then replied with agitated dismay, “How should I know, I’m 300 miles from home!”
