💢 How to Forgive (when you're still angry!)


For most married couples, forgiveness is a daily practice.

Whether you're letting go of the little things (like your spouse loading the dishwasher “wrong”) or reeling from a deeper betrayal like infidelity or secret spending... it still hurts.

We’re human, and we all make mistakes.

But when all you feel is pain, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of resentment.

What we've learned over the years is that forgiveness isn’t about excusing the behavior or letting your spouse off the hook.

It’s about YOU and finding a way back to peace, even when you're still angry, heartbroken, or unsure how to move forward.

Today’s article unpacks what forgiveness really looks like in marriage and how to begin, no matter where you're starting from.

In the early stages of your relationship, romance was a key element. The two of you spent time and energy to make the other feel loved and desired.

But romance can easily fall on the back burner.

Eventually, you might find yourself thinking, “We aren’t romantic at all anymore.”

The romance between a husband and wife doesn’t have to fade over the years.

Rather, when you continually approach romance with curiosity and intentionality, you can keep your 6 Pillars of Intimacy® strong.

Understanding romance—and how it affects both of you as husband and wife—can transform your marriage into something extraordinary.
