9、 everything for the sake of love they had had . The writer said he was not regretful for the marriage. The writers Louise and her husband Charless marriage is like a mirror to the writers own marriage. When they were young and deeply loved each other ,they are quite happy and there was a sense of co

(P1 5 0 para2 ) In fact, she thought there was something in her makeup that liked being needed so completely.(P1 5 0 para4 )I think the most important thing to support Louise doing a lot is “l(fā)ove”. According
15、 to Louises example , the author realized that he remembered well their sweet times, their old loveliness.

Whats love in “Bible”愛(ài)是恒久忍耐，又有恩賜；愛(ài)是不嫉妒，愛(ài)是不自夸，不張狂，不做害羞的事，不求自己的益處，不輕易發(fā)怒，不計(jì)算人的惡，不喜歡不義，只喜歡真理。凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐；愛(ài)是永不止息。 Love is patient, lo
17、ve is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but s with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails. But
18、where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Love is for life and life is for love. 愛(ài)給予了生活的意義。幸運(yùn)的人得到愛(ài)并能讓那愛(ài)的火花永遠(yuǎn)燃燒，這不是一天或幾個(gè)月的事。愛(ài)是生活，生活也是愛(ài)。 Family love is that special feeling especially among relatives.

The family love is the really close relationship with you, and it will not change whatever happens. It needs care of each other , the mutual tolerance and understanding . Love requires long-term commitment and wisdom. Above all, both partners should pay enough attention to it so that love can be living and growing. Thank you for watching!
