I don't think it is childish, especially if you're married. Even though I know the benefits of therapy, I would still hope my partner would talk to me about issues in his life. Maybe I'm not the person who is going to help him solve those problems, but I still hope he would talk to me about them.
I don't think that's selfish. I think that is what a relationship is meant to be.
