Forgiving in marriage is really hard… but sometimes it feels necessary.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting. You still know what happened, but you try not to carry it all the time. Because when resentment grows, the marriage gets more damaged.
One benefit of forgiveness in marriage is that people start talking again. The distance slowly gets smaller. Things don’t fix overnight, but there can be a chance to rebuild.
Of course, not everything has to be forgiven. Some things can feel too heavy. But if both sides want to fix things, forgiveness can help save the marriage.
In short, forgiveness is not always about staying… sometimes it’s about starting again.
