    The differences between men and women clarify why they have different expectations about communication in marriage. For women, talk【C1】________ intimacy. Marriage is an orgy (狂欢) of closeness: you can tell your feelings and thoughts, and still be loved. Women’s greatest【C2】________ is being pushed away. But men live in a hierarchical world, where talk maintains independence and status. They are on【C3】________ to protect themselves from being put down and pushed around.
    This【C4】________ the paradox of the talkative man who said of his silent wife, "She’s the talker."
    In【C5】________ settings, he feels challenged to show his intelligence and【C6】________ his understanding.
