HELP FOR THE FAMILY/MARRIAGE - WHAT YOU CAN DO

 Understand what forgiveness involves. In the Bible, at times the word "forgive' means "let go." So forgiveness does not always require that you forget what happened or minimized the wrong. Sometimes it means that you simply need to let go of a matter, for your own well-being and that of your marriage. 

Recognize the consequences of not forgiving. Some experts say that holding on to resentment can put you at a greater risk for a wide range of physical and emotional problems, including depression and high blood pressure-not to mention the damage it does to your marriage. For good reason, the Bible says: Become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another." - EPHESIANS 4:32.
