At a couple's counseling session, the therapist said that couples...

these days are so disconnected that 85 percent of all husbands don't know what their wife's favorite flower is.

The husband in the session turned to his wife and whispered, "It's self-rising, isn't it?"

However, the reality is that probably very few women ever tell their husbands their favorite flower.

I don't think I ever did.

And in case you care, it's lilacs.

And it seems every husband practices at least a couple of them. So do wives, come to think of it...

They sit at the opposite end of the couch and won’t even look at each other let alone acknowledge that the other person is there. The therapist tries everything you can think of to get them to open up or just to get them started.

Finally here says “OK that’s it” and grabs an upright bass from the closet and begins playing a jazz solo.

After a while the husband makes a snide remark about this to his wife and she snickers. Then he makes another joke and she laughs.

Pretty soon they're talking openly sorting out all their problems, and even starting to have feelings for each other again.

The therapist stops playing the bass and says “Very good.“

The husband asks, “What the heck was that all about?“

The therapist replies, “Everyone talks during a bass solo.”
