Love and Respect Takes Two Good Forgivers

  • Love and Respect.
    “A good marriage is made of two good forgivers.”, while true for every marriage, applies especially to a Love & Respect couple, because forgiveness is the ultimate strategy for halting the Crazy Cycle or, better yet, for preventing it from getting started. We know we should forgive, but between the knowing and the doing there can be a big gap. And when you are sitting on the unforgiving side of that gap, you can pay a price. “But if you do not forgive others their sins, unforgiveness could cost you your salvation?. My wife and I learned this early in our marriage, when a typical morning scene would find us in an angry spat, neither one willing to forgive or ask forgiveness. Still smoldering,  If you do not forgive your wife and seek her forgiveness, Things will not be right until you call her and reconcile. More often than not, I would reach for the phone to make that call and it would ring first. It would be my wife wanting to ...reconcile because she had been getting exactly the same message from are love , Our spats were usually small stuff, married people butting heads over very little. Our conflicts were nothing compared to what some couples go through due to adultery, abuse, or desertion. But whether the matter is major or minor, the path to forgiveness is to realize that the issue that prompts your need to forgive isn’t primarily about your relationship to your spouse; it’s about your relationship. if I don’t forgive, I remain in a place where love can not live, forgiving mean just letting go of the pain, now, focus on the fact that your Love & Respect marriage does take two good forgivers. You make allowance for each other’s faults as you forgive as many times as it takes. And you both forgive for one simple but profound reason: because you know love has forgiven you!.
