Forgiveness and Moving On

Forgiveness and Moving On

Within my own marriage I have time and time again realized the importance of forgiveness. Holding onto past hurts, sorrows or even accidents really hurts a marriage. Sometimes a hurt that has occurred may take a while to heal because of the consequences it has left on a family, but this is no reason not to forgive. 

I have learned that forgiveness is not the absence of hurt but the beginning of healing two wounded hearts. 🖤

I think that as a woman it can be hardest to move on and let it go when something hard happens. I know that I have the tendency to worry about that thing happening again or bringing up past hurts that I feel the affects of. However, when I forgive and let me and my spouse move on we feel so much stronger as a couple. 

We need to remember to forgive ourselves as well. We are all imperfect humans. It is easy to be hard on ourselves, especially if we have messed up on the same thing over and over again. However, I know that does not want us to feel down on ourselves. He has taken everything from us if we are just willing to pass it over to Him.
