The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

I was talking to a Malysian colleague the other day. It’s always fun to speak with Malysian Chinese as they mix English and Chinese in the same sentence. She said and I quote, "The most important thing in a marriage is errrrrr.....互相忍让." So how do we  express 互相忍让 in English? You could say "compromise" or "mutual respect." But the most relevant expression for a marriage or romantic relationship is "Give and Take." 


You rarely hear people say, "the most important thing in a relationship is give and take." The normal way to say it is, "good relationship is all about give and take."


Further more, you could say, "Maria is always the giver in the relationship," which means Maria is more willing to 忍让 in the relationship. On the other hand, if you say he is the taker in the relationship, it means he is a bloody selfish s…o…a b…. As for Ken, he of course is the giver in a relationship. He gives time, he gives real 感情, he gives effort. But there is one thing he doesn't give…. He doesn't give any money.
