There was a man who loved to watch sports on TV, but his wife wasn't a fan. Every time he turned on the game, she would start nagging him to do chores around the house. One day, he had had enough and came up with a plan.
He told his wife that he had heard of a new therapy that could help improve their communication and relationship. Excitedly, his wife agreed to give it a try.
That evening, he set up the TV to play a recording of a sports game while they sat in front of it holding hands. The therapist on the recording instructed them to communicate their feelings and concerns while watching the game.
As the game started, the man could see his wife getting agitated. She kept looking at him and then at the TV, clearly conflicted about whether to watch the game or talk to him.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "I can't believe you are watching sports again! This is ridiculous!"
The man turned to her with a big smile and said, "Ah, but honey, we're communicating! The therapist said so!"
Needless to say, his wife was not amused, but the man couldn't stop laughing at his clever plan. And from that day on, he knew he could always find a way to watch sports in peace.
