After many
years of marriage, John decided he wanted to divorce his wife. The reasons he
gave his counsellor were: ‘She’s not attractive, she’s not interesting, she’s
overweight, she doesn’t respect me and she’s a poor housekeeper.’ So, the counsellor
gave him this suggestion: ‘Starting today, I want you to go home and treat your
wife like a goddess.
Start doing
everything in your power to please her. Listen intently when she talks about
her problems. Help around the house, and take her out to dinner at the weekend.
I want you to literally pretend that she’s a goddess. Then after two months of
this wonderful new behaviour, pack your bags and leave. That should get her
attention!’
John agreed
it was a great idea and decided to implement it. He took his wife away on
romantic weekends and read poetry to her every night. After two months the
counsellor called and asked, ‘John, did you file for divorce? Are you looking
forward to being a bachelor again?’ John replied, ‘Are you kidding? I’m married
to a goddess.
I’ve never
been happier in my life. I’d never leave my wife in a million years. In fact,
I’m discovering new, wonderful things about her every single day. Divorce? Not
on your life!’ When John changed his strategy and started sowing seeds of love,
he reaped a marriage he never dreamed possible. Do you think this same strategy
might possibly work for you? What have you got to lose? Give it a try and see
what happens. Chances are you and your spouse will love the results.
