Nothing is more central to God’s relationships than the act of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about reconciliation. It is about breaking down the barriers that prevent an intimate relationship. Forgiveness is so important to God that he provided the ultimate sacrifice for the sole purpose of establishing a relationship with mankind. If couples approached forgiveness with the same kind of passion that God has demonstrated for us, then many of their “issues” would never exist. The challenge that many couples face is that they don’t recognize where forgiveness is needed in their relationship, they are not sure about how to truly forgive, and they don’t want to forgive. Forgiveness requires humility. Failing to forgive your spouse will have the same long-term impact as self-hatred. When a two people become “one,” they in effect relinquish the right to harbor resentment solely against their spouse. Crossing this bridge may be one of the hardest challenges any couple will face. However, learning to practice continuous forgiveness in a biblical manner also has the potential to bring the greatest amount of healing and joy into a marriage.
