A 5-Step Process For How To Forgive And Forget In A Christian Marriage

Love Your People Well - Christian Family Relationships, Motherhood, And Marriage Tips

Episode 213 // We can never “forgive and forget” like God does. It’s a common cliche, but we have to wonder if it’s even possible. Should we even try to forgive and forget? How would it actually work, in a real marriage, with hurts and pains, with disappointments and sin?

Today, I’ll share a 5-step process that will help you with forgiveness in your marriage. As a marriage therapist for 10+ years, I know that this is not an easy process - but it is absolutely a worthwhile one.

These steps will help you find healing. Your efforts will honor God as you also help your marriage move forward. So let’s dive in.

hugs & blessings,

Today’s Scripture inspiration is 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (NIV)
