In Mr. Allen’ class, which is a high school of the New Jersey, all the students have to “get married”. However, the wedding
21
sometimes become so noisy -- Even the two students getting married often begin to laugh -- that the loud laughter drowns out the
22
of the “minister”.
The teacher, Mr. Allen, wants young students to understand that there are many changes that must take place after marrying and believes that the
23
for these psychological and financial changes should be understood before people marry.
Mr. Allen not only introduces his students to main problems faced in marriage such as illness or being out of work, but also
24
them to the difficult and particular problems they will face every day. He wants to introduce young people to all the worries that can bring the
25
point to a marriage. He even makes his students know the problem of
26
and the fact that divorced men must pay child support money for their children and sometimes pay their wives every month.
It has been not easy for some students to see the problems that a
27
couple often faces.
28
they took the course, they had not worried much about the problems of marriage. However, both students and parents feel that Mr. Allen’ s course is
29
and have favored the course publicly. Their statements and letters supporting the class have asked the school to
30
the course again.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said, “I
41
you.” I did not
42
what to say, and I just stood there, looking
43
at him. My first
44
was that he
45
need help with his homework. Then I asked, “What was that all
46
?”
“Nothing,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents we love them and
47
what they say.”
The next day I called his teacher to
48
more about what my son said and how the other parents had reacted（ 反應） . “Most of the fathers had the
49
response as you did,” the teacher said, ”When I first
50
that we try this, I asked the children
51
they thought their parents
52
say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”
Then the teacher
53
, “ I want my students to know that feeling love is an important part of
54
. I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express our feelings. A boy
55
tell his father or mother he loves him.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is
56
for some of us to say something that is good for us to say.
That evening when my son
57
to me, I took him in my arms and held on for an
58
moment, saying, “Hey, I love you,
59
.” I don’t know if saying that made
60
of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.
