Sherry and Evan were a couple in distress. About a year and a half in their marriage was in a rough spot. The honeymoon was over, and the love was gone. Well... Mostly gone. Now and again they'd have a moment. The last one they both remembered was going out for ice-cream and Evan had spilled some on sherry, down her shirt. Then, in 'revenge' she had spilled some down his pants. After some playful fun, that had lead to a final romantic night two months ago, but ever since that messy session they had had more trouble.
Marriage counseling was a yes, a few months ago they had tried one, then another, then another, then another. Things weren't turning up.
One night at a small event with some friends Sherry and Evan were chatting with a couple that had gotten married a few months before them. The duo were a bit slobbish, the wife and husband both somewhat smelly, the house a bit of a mess, the two of them barefoot in their muddy backyard. Evan spoke to the husband while he worked on the barbeque. "I see you and the missus are getting along great." He said as he watched the man cook, spilling pits of grime on himself.
"Yeah. We found a marriage counselor. It took a month or two, but we've gotten waaaay better together now. Ya know? More open n'all that."
Sherry was having a similar conversation as she watched TV in the somewhat dirty living room. "You and your husband are getting along amazingly. Me and Evan are..." She sighed.
"That bad?" She asked.
"I feel like I'm between one and three month from divorce papers."
"We found a great marriage counselor about eight months ago. It took a bit, but if he works you'll be fucking your hubby plenty more before you serve the papers, at least at the longer date."
Evan blinked. "Really? That quick. I feel like... We barely have that much time left."
The husband laughed as he put the food on the plate, before starting to walk inside, not wiping his feet as he tracked mud through the doorway. "You got the beans ready?" He asked.
"Yes dear!" His wife let out, she got up, walked passed, gave her husbands rear a quick grope, while her bare feet teased his muddy toes, and she walked to the beans, Sherry following the wife.
"The mess doesn't bother you?" Sherry asked quiet-ish.
"Dear, no. We're going to have a little gassy contest later." The wife laughed. "But yes, after counseling we got together a lot better. We have issues, certainly, but we've haven't had any hiccups since the couseling, aside from his mothers china. But that's honestly it."
The husband sighed. "I do miss Mom's china." He told Evan, "But its water under the bridge. I'll dig up the therapists contact info, and send it as soon as I find it." He said to him.

Two weeks later they had an appointment. The counselor was in a house, or a residential building rather. They had done a small pre-questionnaire to get things started. One in unison, and after one each. The second was a bit of a surprise, but the doctor had explained as much.
As they entered the building, using the 'work' entrance as recommended they noticed a dirt path through some mud to another door. Neither paid it much mind as they entered.
The house was a bit messy, and a faint odor hit their noses. It wasn't great, but it wasn't outright offensive. Through a door a younger looking woman sat behind a laptop, typing away before looking at paper. She looked up as the door closed. "Oh! hello!" She said with a smile. "Sherry? Evan? Lovely to meet you, I'm Doctor Rosenthall." She said getting up, "Rose for short. Come in, come in." She said as she motioned for the other two to enter. She was a bit messy, but cute, red-haired, dressed formal and quite warm.
There were two chairs, opposite one for Rose. "Come, take a seat." She said as she motioned to the seats letting them sit down before she herself sat down. "So. You two are in dire straits? You both filled out the same number of counselors, at six. Which is a good sign in one way, and bad in others. I should start by saying that no marriage counselor is 100% successful. And if one says they are, they are either very new, very extreme liars, or possibly both. You both don't seem to be in that category of auto reject, but I may be very wrong. With that said, my success rate in terms of one year after counseling is 75%, and while numbers further out are harder to track, they hover around two thirds overall." She said with a pause. "And with that, I will have to warn, we will likely of course do strange things. Including rather... Unconventional treatments. Especially with you two. However, lets get started on the basics first."
Rose began the treatment with the sheets, and reading off a few things. Marriage goals, issues, speaking. About two hours later, and with some frustration on all side, but small amounts of relief, she gently put her hands on Evan and Sherry's shoulders. "Alright. Relax you two." She said voice calm. "This will not be a painless process, as I said, phase one is weekly meetings. You both work from home, so we're going to assume this time is good. And... For now we'll have week two be two hours. My schedule is open." She paused. "Now then. Homework. One week only, very easy." She laughed. "I will ask you both to not do something." She paused. "For one week. I will ask you both to not have sex, not shower, and not change your underwear. For the no sex, I recommend sleeping in separate beds. You mentioned the guest bedroom, I will let that happen between you."
"Wait... What?" Evan asked a bit confused.
"That... Is... Quite different." Sherry said also turned off.
