问题     A lasting marriage does not always signal a happy marriage. Plenty of【C1】______couples have stayed together for children,religion or other practical reasons. But【C2】______many couples, it’s just not enough to stay together. They want a relationship that is【C3】______and satisfying. In short, they want a(n)【C4】______marriage. "The things that make a marriage【C5】______have more to do with communication skills, mental health, social support, stress—those are the things that【C6】______it to last or not," says Arthur Aron, a psychology professor who directs the Interpersonal Relationships Laboratory at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. " But those things don’t【C7】______make it meaningful or enjoyable or sustaining to the individual. "
    The【C8】______that the best marriages are those that bring satisfaction【C9】______the individual may seem counterintuitive. After all,isn’t marriage supposed to be about【C10】______the relationship first? Not anymore. For centuries ,【C11】______was viewed as an economic and social institution, and the emotional and intellectual needs of the spouses were【C12】______to the survival of the marriage itself. But in【C13】______relationships,people are looking for a partnership,and they want【C14】______who make their lives more interesting.
    Dr. Aron and Gary W. Lewandowski Jr. , a professor at Monmouth University in New Jersey, have studied how individuals use relationship to【C15】______knowledge and experiences, a process【C16】______" self-expansion. " Research shows that the more self-expansion people experience【C17】______their partner, the more committed and satisfied they are in the relationship. To measure this, Dr. Lewandowski developed a series of【C18】______for couples : How much has being with your partner resulted in your learning new things? How much has knowing your partner made you a better person? While the notion of self-expansion may【C19】______inherently self-serving, it can【C20】______to stronger, more sustainable relationships, Dr. Lewandowski says.
【C12】
