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.

夫妻双方都必须以对方为荣，也要让对方能继续以自己为荣。

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

因此你必须自重，并且即使在家里也要表现得自重。

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

太多夫妻利用了婚姻带来的那种松懈感。

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

时间一长，夫妻双方便不再觉得要在小事上为对方费心。

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

知道自己已被接纳，他们在家中或别处独处时，便在精神上、举止上和身体上都松懈下来。

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.

适度放松是好事，但若让家庭和配偶沦为不过是偷懒的借口，那就错了。

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

如果你疲倦或烦躁，可以像婚前那样，通过休息或运动来恢复。

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

疲惫与焦躁一旦表露出来，就会在富有同情心的听者身上滋生出疲惫与焦躁。

Too great concentration is to be avoided.

应当避免过度专注于彼此。

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

即便是最伟大的爱，若被隔绝于生活的主流之外，也会停滞不前。
