    The first passage describes the change in feelings a woman experiences when she spends time with her husband’s initially silent friend who both surprises and tempts her. The next passage is a discussion about the contrast between a family based upon romance, the “love family”, and a family based upon a marriage. The author concludes that the bonds are too loose in a love family and thus have negative consequences for any children involved. Passage C explores the concept of love and how one partner’s actions affect the other’s feelings and development as a person. Essentially the author believes that it is necessary to respect the other’s uniqueness and help him or her develop as an individual.
