3. 保留自己的（一些）小秘密。1961年，扑克教父多尔•布朗森在德克萨斯州一个西部乡村俱乐部遇到自己未来的妻子路易丝。多尔告诉路易丝自己以赌博为生，路易丝不以为意，全盘接受了他。“最重要的是彼此相爱，”现年78岁的路易丝说，“你必须爱你的配偶，甚至超过自己的生命。”

　　-- Keep (some) secrets. When poker legend Doyle Brunson met his wife Louise at a country-and-western club in Texas in 1961, he told her he gambled for a living. And she accepted him for who he is. 'Love is the most important thing,' says Louise Brunson, 78. 'You have to love your spouse more than life itself.'

　　布朗森夫妇住在拉斯维加斯，在47年的婚姻生活中经历过不少严峻的考验，包括一个女儿的死亡，以及一起对自己房子的武装抢劫，当时他们都遭到捆绑，被人用枪指着头。

　　The Brunsons, who live in Las Vegas, have stood by each other through some serious trials in their 47 years of marriage, including the death of a daughter and an armed robbery of their home, during which they were tied up at gunpoint.

　　“生活还得继续，没办法回头。”76岁的多尔说。即便如此，布朗森夫妇并不分享彼此之间的所有秘密。多尔从不跟路易丝谈自己的生意。“我经常有几百万美元的输赢，而我从不让她知道，”多尔说。路易丝表示，丈夫这么做没问题。“我有自己的银行存款帐户，”她说道。

　　'You have to go forward, you can't go back,' says Mr. Brunson, 76. Even so, the Brunsons don't share everything. He does not discuss his business with her. 'I have won and lost millions of dollars without her knowing,' he says. Ms. Brunson says that's just fine with her. 'I have my own bank account,' she says.
