介绍:
The Happy Marriage/幸福的婚姻
A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.
All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later，the wife came to the husband with a proposal，“I read in a magazine a while ago about how we can strengthen our marriage. Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then，we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”
The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning，at the breakfast table，they decided that they would go over their lists.
“I，ll start，”offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it，enough to fill three pages. In fact，as she started reading the list of the little annoyances，she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband，s eyes.
“What，s wrong？”she asked.“Nothing，”the husband replied，“keep reading your list.”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
“Now，you read your list and then we，ll talk about the things on both of our lists，”she said happily.
Quietly the husband stated，“I don，t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don，t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn，t want to try and change anything about you.”The wife，touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her，turned her head and wept.
In life，there are enough times when we are disappointed，depressed and annoyed. We don，t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty，light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad，disappointing or annoying when we can look around us，and see the wondrous things before us？
男人终于和自己的女朋友结婚了。婚礼声势浩大。
所有的亲友都来见证他们的结婚典礼，参加盛典，所有人都度过了一段美好的时光。每个人都能看出他们之间 的真爱。
数月之后，妻子向丈夫提议道：“我刚刚在杂志里看到关于巩固婚姻的方法。我们各自将对方的小缺点写成清 单，然后一起商量如何去改正缺点好让我们更幸福地生活在一起。”
丈夫欣然同意。于是他们走进单独的房间思考着对方让自己觉得不满的地方。他们在接下来的一天里都在思考 这个问题，并将想到的都写了下来。次日清晨吃早餐时，他们决定讨论缺点清单。
“我先来，”妻子提议说。她掏出自己写的清单，上面纷繁的条目足足占据了三张纸。事实上，当她开始读清 单上那些小厌恶时，她看到丈夫的眼里有泪花闪烁。
“你怎么了？”“没事，”丈夫回答说，“继续读。”
妻子继续读着，直到整整三页的厌恶都传达给丈夫。她干脆地将清单放到桌子上，双手交叉其上。
“现在你开始读你的吧，然后我们来讨论讨论清单上的问题，”她兴奋地说。
丈夫轻轻地开口了：“我的清单上什么都没有。我觉得原本的你是最完美的，我不希望你为我做任何改变。我 不想改变你，不想你失去可爱与美好。”他的真实，对她深深的爱，对她的包容深深触动着她。她转过头，流 下眼泪。
生命中，失望、压抑和烦恼常常不请自来。生活在一个充满美好、光明、希望的世界，我们本可以尽情领略周 围的奇妙，为何浪费时间去自寻丑恶、失望和烦恼呢？
