Excellent! A very touching and insightful look inside marriage - and how little it takes to reconnect if we give it even a little chance. You did a nice job of creating the couple's background story without bogging down this story. Well penned!

I wish I had a six left. This contest entry is absolutely wonderful. I loved reading it. Thank you for sharing it with us. I think Jason had the key to solving many problems. Spend time together. Good luck with the contest.

I think I like the advice Reverend Williams offers. This is well written, the author has crafted his characters and his scenes in a most believable fashion. I think this piece could so easily be developed further.

A very interesting story. Even more so, my last wife's name was Mary. We had more than 20 minutes each day, but for not. Even her son called her toxic, and witnessed her cutting tone.
I believe things happen the way they are supposed to. I married her as a friend who needed support, being recently divorced. Thirty four years of love and some emptiness.
We divorced, but are still friends, but, I think, God rewarded me. I am now a happy man, having reconnected with someone I knew since the fourth grade. Married for 43 months today. See I told you, things work out the way they are supposed to, including finding and reading your story on this occasion!
Thanks for your story, which turned out differently from mine.
Your story will be a help to others, and a reminder for some.
Nice job!
Dick

    YOU have to BELIEVE!
    She even supports my writing and does my editing.
    My last wife said I could never write a novel. She was right - I wrote 6.

Your story is outstanding. A very creative tale using,"give

Your dialogue carried well as did the characters features.
You cleverly used Jason's intentions of twenty minutes and
set up the ending very well.
Best wishes in contest.

Enjoyed your story. Marriage is definitely a time where twenty minutes a day is well spent with each other. Marriage is a sacred vow between two people not three. It does not usually survive if there are three people involved.

This was a great story. You developed two good characters, Jason and Mary. The story is witty. I loved the ending with the reverend and twenty
minutes.
