In a lifelong marriage, your spouse will annoy you, disappoint you, and hurt you.
In a lifelong marriage, your spouse will annoy you, disappoint you, and hurt you. Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a daily, deliberate decision.Forgiving your spouse does not mean validating their poor behavior; it means choosing not to let that resentment poison your own heart. Once an issue is resolved and forgiven, it must stay buried.
Bringing up a forgiven offense three years later during a completely unrelated argument proves you never truly forgave them in the first place.
