15、. Modern psychologists are taken with the win-win solution. But in marriage, success resides more in lose-lose solutions. Out of these, both parties can win. For in the love configuration, losing gives a gift that always returns. The issues that people argue over most in marriage, such as how to spe
16、nd money, often arent the real ones. The key issue is: Who is going to be in control? When I was younger, my need to control arose out of fear, a lack of trust, insecurity. The day I finally realized I didnt need to control my wife梩hat, indeed, I ought not to control her, that I couldnt control her,
17、 and that if I tried to, I would destroy our marriage ?was the day our marriage began. What is it we want most from a marriage? To love and be loved. To be happy and secure. To grow to discover.

S. ? 3% / between blacks and whites Many people in Western cultures choose their own wives and hus-bands. In many other cultures, spouses are often chosen by the parents. In China
22、and Japan before this century (20 th century) , upper-class mar-riages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the mans family negotiated a bride price with the womans family; the mans family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the
23、brides family paid a grooms price to the family of the man. These customs are weakening; for instance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged. What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages梬hether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love梐re based
24、on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slightly lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the mans family must go to the family of the woman and propose mar-riage. These family mem
25、bers must be able to show that the mans family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward. Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U.
26、 S. , where there are many different races, only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage. In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choo

28、. Complete the following main ideas expressed by the second speaker. Unfortunately, perhaps in the initial stages its the physical appearance that attracts. In fact it shouldnt be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to look beyond the physical appearance and see what sort
29、of a person he or she is. In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and so on, the idea of falling in love is always emphasized. ?In fact I think we can proba-bly lay there the blame for the high percentage of divorces. I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts.
