Eileen, Kay's Friend
You marry who you marry, and you are who you are. Why would that change?
Kay
Well, if you wanted it to?
Eileen, Kay's Friend
No. I think for that to happen, it would have to be so bad, that somebody was willing to risk everything just to shake things up, and then it might not come down your way. No, change is hard. No, marriages don't change.

I hate golf. I do. I think it's boring. And watching it; that's even worse. It's like being married to ESPN or something. And when you eat ranch chips... your breath smells.

Dr. Feld
You two have come here to try to restore intimacy to your marriage. So that is going to be the goal of our very focused sessions together. To find ways to communicate your needs to one another. To cultivate intimacy. And to develop the tools to sustain that intimacy going forward. The first step in rebuilding a marriage is tearing away some of the scar tissue that has built up over the years. It can be very painful, but it's worth it. I like to think of it - the metaphor of when you have a deviated septum and you can't breathe? You have to break the nose in order to fix it.

Dr. Feld
We're going to talk extensively about your sexual history. When it started. What it included. What it didn't include. If you had orgasms, vaginally or otherwise. If you had issues around sexuality or performance. Whether you talked about sex or during it. What your fantasies are. If you ever acted on fantasies. Brought toys or sex games into the bedroom. Brought sex out of the bedroom. And once we've explored all of those things, I will give you your first sexual, not sex, but sexual, exercise. All right? Let's get started. Arnold, would you like to begin?

Dr. Feld
I can't tell you how many questions I get on what constitutes the perfect marriage. I see couples who think their marriages are over. Who feel like it's impossible to regain what they once had. Well, It's not. It's not impossible. And it's not too late for anyone who truly wants it and is willing to try.

If you could have anything you wanted in your sex life with Kay, what would that be? Did you have fantasies that you didn't feel comfortable telling her about?

Vince, Arnold's Friend
I'll tell you, when Susan used to threaten me, I did what we all want to do. Head up to Brewsky's, not call, come home late piss drunk, a big "screw you." You see how that worked out. If I had to do it again, I'd be on it with flowers, a card, dinner, maybe even a necklace. I'd be in there like the Orkin Man and kill that thing dead. Maybe then I wouldn't be in a condo.
