Reading Wangerin’s As For Me And My House again. (You do read to improve your marriage, don’t you?) The book is overwhelmingly good. Highlighting the passages that stand-out will require more than one highlighter.
Forgiveness is, according to Wangerin, the most practical tool for keeping a marriage working well.
“There is no tool more practical to marriage maintenance nor more important than that both husband and wife are capable of the reparation of forgiveness. But, despite our self-confidence, it is not a tool any of us knows by nature or uses by instinct. Oh, we know the term forgiveness well enough; but we confuse its meaning, and we must acquire the skill of using it.”
Somehow, it gets easier and more difficult.
