Dennis Rainey: I once heard a story about a woman who told her counselor, "I don't love my husband anymore." Well, after hearing about all the things her husband wasn't doing, the counselor said, "For the next month, I want YOU to do for HIM everything you say he is not doing for you.

Well, a month went by and the woman returned. "So," said the counselor, "tell me about your lack of love for your husband."
