A husband was having great difficulty getting along with his wife – nothing but arguing and friction – so he decided to consult a marriage counsellor.
After they had talked for a while, the counsellor said, “I suggest that you run five miles each day for a week. It’ll give you some space and the exercise will help you blow off steam. At the end of the week, please call me back.”
A week later the counsellor received a call from the husband, “Well,” asked the counsellor, “how are things going with you and your wife?
“How should I know?” said the husband, “I’m thirty-five miles away.”
