　　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.

　　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（ 反应） . “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.
