What a great title! One essential element was missing from this lovely garden, and in your story the protagonist finds a way to fill that gap. You create a valid story arc. You describe the setting, the motivation of the character and a credible path toward resolution. We are happy, in the end, that the husband understands what truly will make his wife happy.

Thank you for posting this story in the Ink Well community.

Hello @cryptofi,
It's a clever notion, to compare the happy (almost happy) married life to the Garden of Eden. Without a rich, full relationship, a marriage is not truly a garden, and certainly not an ideal garden. A modern intervention, therapy, is an effective solution to the couple's age-old problem :)

This is a charming story, @cryptofi. So often it seems like once a divide occurs between two people in a relationship, it is hard for them to find happiness together again, but in this story the couple was able to rekindle the fire!
