Don't hold grudges

"I remember it happened the day before Valentine's day last year," Sam recalled.
A memory is a wonderful thing. But how many times has one painful memory triggered an argument between you and your spouse?

Holding grudges and refusing to let go of the past is something that can take a toll on any marriage. Unforgiving attitudes can ruin the best of relationships.

Forgiveness is an important part of living together in harmony, but forgetting is not the same as forgiving. I find that talking about feelings of pain can help sort through the pent-up feelings of resentment.
