问题     A good marriage means growing as a couple but also growing as individuals. This isn’t easy; marriage has always been difficult. Why are we seeing so many divorces at this time? Yes, our modern social fabric is thin, and yes, the permissiveness of society has created【B1】______expectations and brought the family into disorder. But divorce is so common because people today【B2】______exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. They expect easy joy, like the entertainment on TV, the【B3】______of a good party. Marriage【B4】______of some kind, not dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of【B5】______. Some of one’s fantasies, some of one’s legitimate desires, have to be given up for the value of the marriage itself. "While all marital (婚姻的) partners feel shackled (受束缚的) at times, it is they who really choose to make the marital ties into confining chains or【B6】______bonds" , says Dr. Whitaker. Marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional discipline. A man and a woman cannot follow every impulse, and cannot allow themselves to stop growing or changing.
    A divorce is not an evil act. Sometimes it provides【B7】______for people who have grown hopelessly apart or were frozen in patterns of pain or mutual unhappiness. On the other hand, if the partners can stay past the【B8】______of the romantic myths into the development of real love and intimacy, they have achieved a work as amazing as the greatest cathedrals of the world. Marriages that do not fail but improve, that persist despite【B9】______, are not only rare these days but offer a wonderful shelter in which the face of our【B10】______humanity can safely show itself.
