Forgiveness – sought and given
The most successful marriage is one in which forgiveness is often sought and richly given.
Forgiveness plays such a crucial role in all of our relationships, but especially in our marriage.
Marriages are made miserable because one or both partners are unwilling or unable to forgive. In some homes, the sun rises and sets each day without a kind word being spoken or a tender touch being felt.
A husband cannot allow unforgiveness to develop toward his wife…
…and a wife must not hold onto offenses toward her husband.
Releasing the hurts and extending tenderness, love and forgiveness toward our mate is the only way for marriage partners to continue to become one…as Jesus taught.
Today, let the hurts go. Release the resentment, excuse the offenses and forgive your mate in the same way Jesus forgave you.
Let forgiveness be often sought and richly given in your marriage.
