A woman accompanied her husband to the

doctor’s office.

After his checkup, the doctor called the wife
into his office alone. He
said, “Your husband is suffering from a
very severe stress disorder.
If you don’t follow my instructions
carefully, your husband will surely
die.

“Each morning, fix
him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant at all times.
For lunch make him
a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially
nice meal for
him.

“Don’t burden him with chores. Don’t discuss your
problems with him;
it will only make his stress worse. Do not nag him.
Most importantly,
make love to him regularly.

“If you can do
this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your
husband will
regain his health completely.”

On the way home, the husband asked
his wife, “What did the doctor
say?”

“He said you’re going
to die,” she replied.
