When my husband and I ask each other how it is we’ve managed to stay in love with each other for now 26 years, and counting. We always agree on one very important habit. We have adopted and incorporated the act of forgiveness. The act of quick forgiveness, it’s so important to not waste time being mad for hours, for days, and much less for months. I don’t know if I can trace it back to both of us reading the book titled “Don’t sweat the small stuff~and it’s all small stuff”. That book made us realize the importance of being kind to each other and forgiving each other, not just in passing but whole heartedly. Maybe you find it crazy and unreal that there is such a thing as Forgive and Forget. I would agree with you, because I’ve lived long enough to know it’s not easy forgiving and forgetting. But, I know for certain that we have it in us to let it go. I can put myself in my spouses shoes, I can feel his regret when he says he is sorry, and I for sure know when I mess up I to ask forgiveness from the bottom of my heart and feel at peace when he says it’s okay. In life I think you have to be able to put yourself in your spouses shoes, you have to sit your EGO aside, you have to know there is forgiveness for yourself when you forgive others. In forgiving each other, my husband and I are able to live a more happy life together. We feed off of each others kindness and compassion, we feel loved and cared for; and most of all we know when we mess up it’s only a temporary bump in the road. Through forgiveness, our happiness is easily restored. Try to practice forgiveness and start living a happier more peaceful life.
