Audiobook Dictation: “Each marriage partner must be proud…”

Each marriage partner must be proud of the other and let the other continue to be proud of him or her.

夫妻雙方都必須以對方為榮，也要讓對方能繼續以自己為榮。

Therefore you have to respect yourself and act as if you did, even at home.

因此你必須自重，並且即使在家裡也要表現得自重。

Too many couples exploit the sense of let-down that marriage brings with it.

太多夫妻利用了婚姻帶來的那種鬆懈感。

After so long a time, husband and wife cease to feel that they must exert themselves for each other in little matters.

時間一長，夫妻雙方便不再覺得要在小事上為對方費心。

Knowing themselves accepted, they lounge--mentally, mannerly, and physically--when at home or elsewhere alone together.

知道自己已被接納，他們在家中或別處獨處時，便在精神上、舉止上和身體上都鬆懈下來。

Some of this relaxation is a good thing, but it is a mistake to let home and spouse degenerate into nothing more than an invitation to be lazy.

適度放鬆是好事，但若讓家庭和配偶淪為不過是偷懶的藉口，那就錯了。

If you are tired or irritable, you can rest or exercise for restoration, as in the days before marriage.

如果你疲倦或煩躁，可以像婚前那樣，透過休息或運動來恢復。

Fatigue and nervousness, expressed, breed fatigue and nervousness in a sympathetic audience.

疲憊與焦躁一旦表露出來，就會在富有同情心的聽者身上滋生出疲憊與焦躁。

Too great concentration is to be avoided.

應當避免過度專注於彼此。

Even the greatest love stagnates if it is kept out of the main current of life.

即便是最偉大的愛，若被隔絕於生活的主流之外，也會停滯不前。
