After 23 Years of Marriage, Wife Asks Husband on a Date and Learns He Is Ashamed of Her

After 23 years of marriage and four children, Jack and Mary had fallen into a routine. Jack relaxed after work, while Mary spent her days cooking, cleaning, and caring for the kids. She longed for a date night, but when she suggested it, Jack cruelly dismissed her. “You look terrible. I’m ashamed of you,” he said, leaving Mary heartbroken.
Later, Jack visited his friend Samuel, who declined a night out because he had a date with his wife. Jack was stunned by how happy and radiant Samuel’s wife looked. When Jack commented that Mary always seemed miserable, Samuel replied, “I make every day special for my wife. She deserves love and appreciation.”
Realizing his mistake, Jack returned home with a gift and apologized. He invited Mary on a date, and the next evening, she transformed before his eyes. From that moment on, they worked to restore their love, strengthening their marriage and family.
