Eric: Ok. So it is Claudia, oh？
Pete: Yeah, see, she invited me to spend two weeks in. And well, I told her I had studied a little bit about the country and language, and she is kind of expecting that I know more than I really do.
Eric: Hum. You arc in hot water now.
Pete: Yeah. I think so.
Eric: Well, what do you want to know？
Pete: Well, she is planning to introduce me to her parents.
Eric: Hey. Sounds kind of serious, If you are meeting someone formally for the first time, like Claudia' s parents, you should make sure you arrive on time.

A good marriage means growing as a couple but also growing as individuals. This isn't easy, marriage has always been difficult. Why then are we seeing so many divorces at this time？ Yes, our modem social fabric is thin, and yes the permissiveness of society has created unrealistic expectations and thrown the family into disorder. But divorce is so common because people today are unwilling to exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. They expect easy joy, like the entertainment on TV, the thrill of a good party.
Marriage takes some kind of sacrifice, not dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of compromise. 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 partners feel shackled(受束缚) at times, it is they who really choose to make the marital ties into confining chains or supporting bonds", says Dr. Whitaker. Marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional discipline. A man and a woman cannot follow every impulse, cannot allow himself or herself to stop growing or changing.
A divorce is not an evil act. Sometimes it provides salvation(拯救)for people who have grown hopelessly apart or were frozen in patterns of pain or mutual unhappiness. Divorce can be like the first cut of the surgeon' s knife, a step toward new health and a good life. On the other hand, if the partners can stay past the breaking up of the romantic myths into the development of real love and intimacy, they have achieved a work as amazing as the greatest cathedrals(教堂)of the world. Marriages that do not fail but improve, that persist despite imperfections, are not only rare these days but offer a wondrous shelter in which the face of our mutual humanity can safely show itself.
According to the author, an ideal marriage life______.
听力原文：Helen: What do you think of Potter's lecture？
Jane: Not much.
Helen: Why, what's wrong with it？
Jane: Oh, I don' t know. It' s just that he.. well, because he overloads it with detail. He does tend to do this kind of thing I think. That course he gave on town planning last year. It was just the same--just a load of details, which you could have got from a book anyway, and more and more technical terms, there was no.. no overall ..er...
Brian: No general overview you mean.
Jane: Yes, I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings.
Helen: But you've got to have detail in this kind of subject Jane, and anyway I think he is good. You take his first lecture for instance---I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed.
Jane: But that' s just it Helen. That is just what I am getting at. He starts off all right and engages your interest so that you sit back and think" I am going to enjoy this. I am going to get a general idea of the important points in this topic."
Brian: Now, let' s keep this on an impartial academic level. At least we agree that he starts off on the right foot with his nice interesting introductions. Wouldn't you say that was important for any lecture？ --to get the audience involved right at the beginning and then gradually increase the pressure.
What is the possible relationship between the speakers？
