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.
