My 2 o'clock hour question
Tigers, I'm just doing this to be your favorite today. 
One of my school books gave an example of reframing things for clients. A counselor was seeing a couple who argued all the time over small things. The counselor told them the next time they started this at home, they were to go into the bathroom together and he had to undress and sit in the bathtub while she sat on the toilet (lid down, fully clothed). The couple said it worked, because they cracked up too much to have the energy to argue.
Thoughts? Would this work in your relationship?

Re: My 2 o'clock hour question
I give that the side-eye. It seems silly to me.
Different couples operate differently though, so I guess it could work for some.
This would not work for us. It seems like a ridiculous solution. But I give the couselor credit as ours never had any suggestions...
Thanks for answering, guys.
I thought this was very odd, and couldn't see myself giving or taking this advice. It was an extreme example, and was in a section about taking risks as a professional.
Hoek, I had the same thought about laughing at husband's nudity. It also has some weird power shift thing to me, but maybe that was part of the problem?
I don't often laugh out loud reading textbooks, but this one brought out a gruffaw at the image it created.
However, for our next little, silly thing arguement, we're going to try this, though. Fully clothed. We're kind of excited to have an arguement.
GRSP says, "Mr.GRSP! Go sit in the bathtub!"
Me, too.
HA!
