Dear Doctor，

　　My husband and I got married in 1995 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children．Then four years ago，our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work．

　　My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision．He emphasized all of the things l can do around the house，and said he thought I could be a great success in business．

　　After several weeks of job-hunting，l found my present job，which is working for a small public relations firm．At first，my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends，“My clever little wife can run that company she's working for．”

　　But as his joking remark was close to reality，my husband stopped talking to me about my job．I have received several promotions and pay increases，and I am now making more money than he is．I can buy my own clothes and a new car．Because of our combined incomes，my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing，but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy．

　　We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends．For the first time in our marriage，l think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end．

　　I hove my husband very much，and I do not want him to feel inferior，but I also love my job．I think I can be a good wife and a working woman，but I don't know how．Can you give me some advice？Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career？

　　Please help．

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I'm so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too... I wasn't　 36　 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying goodbye.

　 But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.

That night, when I lay 　42 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite... Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself-- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.”

　 By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 47 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 48 them in a napkin（餐巾）, just for you. I knew you'd like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I 50 have fussed（慌乱）at you that way.”

　 And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 51 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”

　 Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of （大约）days. But the family you leave _53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 54 than into our families--an unwise investment(投资) indeed.

　 Remember that 55 = (F)ATHER -- (A)ND--(M)OTHER -- (I)--(L)OVE--(Y)OU.
