forgiveness is key in every relationship/marriage because no matter the connection a partner must offended at some point.
Now the question is how those one establish a sustainable forgiving heart in that relationship/marriage?..this meant sound shocking,the greater responsibility lies with the person that offended the other..now these steps should be followed
1) apologising
2) apologising and really showing you are sorry
3) doing everything to make your partner forgive
the last be the most important comes after your partner accepts your apology,that is number 4
4) after the apology has been accepted it brings a greater responsibility of you putting in all the work to make sure that mistake does happen again because if you keep repeating it and apologising over time your partner will loose confidence and trust in your apologies and that can lead to so many cracks in that relationship.. FORGIVENESS IS KEY,BUT NO ONE IS OBLIGATED TO FORGIVE ANYONE,ITS NOT A RIGHT,ITS EARNED AND WHEN EARNED,IT TAKES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY TO SUSTAIN IT!
