“Forgive me”, two little words that can make a world of difference in your marriage! All spouses fight at one time or another.

“And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 NIV.

This scripture says it all! Be kind! Forgive!

There is a book, Love in the time of Cholera, that talks about how it was the wife’s responsibility to keep the house in order, including towels, toilet paper and soap in the bathroom. One day she forgot to put out soap and the husband was extremely upset. The wife would not admit to forgetting because of her pride. They went so far in their argument that for 7 months, they slept in separate rooms. They ate in silence. Their marriage suffered a “Heart Attack”! The author wrote that even as they grew older, it was still a touchy subject. They avoided bringing it up so as not to open the wounds to bleed again.

WOW, an argument over a bar of soap?! When all it would have taken was a simple 2 words, forgive me. How hard is that? But the ugly head of pride rose up and refused to ask for forgiveness!

Tuck these two words away and save them because they can prevent a lot of hardship and anguish! They are an essential part of a successful partnership. These words are a requirement to move forward and let the past go.

I hope this helps you and your marriage! You can always go to our Prayer Wall and add a prayer request. It does not need to be about marriage or a relationship. It can be about anything! It would be our pleasure to pray and stand with you!
