Be forgiving

"The things 2 people do to each other they remember. If they stay together, it is not bcause they forget; it's because they forgive," so said Demi Moorein Indecent Proposal.

The attitude, "I'll never forgive you for that!" is the surest way for wounds and hurts in relationship never to heal. An unmerciful, unforgiving attitude leads to discouragement and depression.

How many partners have the habit of dredging up past mistakes - in private or public - to embarrass or put down a partner? That's being unmerciful and unforgiving. It reopens old wounds.

We are all - you and I imperfect human beings in an imperfect world. So when we're wrong why not simply say, "I'm sorry."

If an abusive partner asks for forgiveness, be willing to give it. If we fail to apply the law of mercy and forgiveness, we guarantee that past mistakes and shortcomings will destroy a relationship.
