To a watching world, Mike and Mary Murraywere a perfect couple. They had been high school sweethearts, and    1    tohave a happy marriage. Mike had a good job, and Mary was able to    2    homewith their children. They owned their home and    3   kids, two cars. and afamily dog.    4    to Mike, after seven years of marriage, something wasterribly wrong. The Murrays had    5   their material goalsand Mike    6   , now what? He began to lookto his job for fulfillment and often worked 60 hours    7   . Mary poured herself into the children. It was so    8    forher to turn her focus from Mike to 6-month-old Eric and 2-year-old Brittany.

    And now themarriage seemed    9  . Their lives were traveling in two different directions. They nolonger really communicated—yes, they answered    10   questions, but theydidn't talk    11    as they had in the early years of their marriage. Mike felttrapped. “I 12___ had time to do things that I wanted to,” he says. Mikedid not share his feelings with Mary. Instead, he followed the slippery path ofmany others—he became involved with (与……纠缠不清) a woman at work, who was    13    herhusband. It began as a simple friendship. “I was able to listen and she wasable to listen.” Mike recalls.

    Mary    14    thebattle in Mike's soul. “He wasn't home as much, and we weren't talking asmuch,” she says. “I was wrapped up in the kids and I just couldn't imagineanything ever 15 . “The situation became worse when the Murrays attendeda wedding and began to argue. Mary asked Mike if he was seeing    16    andhe said, “Yes. It's just an emotional (情感的) thing.” Mike can still rememberthe    17    of hurt and total surprise on Mary's face. She was troubled,and he knew that he had turned against (背叛) his best friend    18    highschool. The expression on her face jarred (刺激) him into    19   , and he began to understand the  20 he was doing to his family.
