A Foundation For A Long-Term Marriage

There are many reasons a marriage lasts for decades, including love, devotion and mutual interests. But there is one thing all these marriages have in common. What is it?

Forgiveness. None of us is perfect and over time we make mistakes that hurt our marital partner. But with forgiveness we allow our love and respect to prevail and we set aside those many hurts, big and small.

Without forgiveness, marriages crumble in animosity and resentment. For those who find the strength to forgive, however difficult it may be, the magic of love and the many joys of marriage can be restored and with it, a sense of gratitude for the blessing that is one's partner.
