‘Thank you, Sam. Well, have a good date tonight. I’m going home now.’
When Jack got home he had a present for Mary.
‘I’m sorry I hurt you with my words tonight.
I was disrespectful and you didn’t deserve it,’ he said and handed her the gift box.
‘Do you want to go out with me tomorrow? I’ve made reservations at this beautiful restaurant downtown…’
Mary looked at Jack in surprise.
She was happy and gave him the same radiant smiling face she used to show him every day.
She opened the box and discovered a gorgeous silver chain.
‘It’s so beautiful, Jack. Thank you. I’d love to go out with you tomorrow,’ she replied.
The next day, Jack watched Mary transform right before his eyes.
She looked dazzling, and he remembered that he had the most beautiful wife in the world. He was happy, and so was she.
From that day on, both Mary and Jack decided to work on their relationship.
They reignited the flame between them and it not only affected them but also their family life.
