　　英语四级听力美文第46篇:Dating with My Mother

　　After 22 years of marriage,I have discovered the secret to keep love and intimacy alive in myrelationship with my wife, Peggy: I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea, actually, "you know you love her," she said one day, taking me in surprise.

Iagreed. Now Mom and I got out for dinner a couple of times a month.
