Forgiving in Marriage By: Kia Stephens Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. - Ephesians 4:32 When we stand at the altar and gaze into the eyes of our future spouse, we can't imagine ever having a disagreement. In that idyllic moment, it seems that disappointment will never dawn on our doorstep. This was my assumption when I got married. Which explains why I was not prepared when our first argument happened on our honeymoon. I can't remember what we were at odds about, but I can remember the feeling of disillusionment. This was not what married life was supposed to be. My misguided assumption was that marriage was a perpetual state of bliss. You know, boy meets girl, and the two ride off into the sunset on a white horse. I soon learned that disappointment, arguments, and forgiveness were a part of saying "I do". |
