Trusting your entire self to another person.
Working through (sometimes very difficult) problems.
Compromising.
Relying on someone else to meet your needs.
It's not always easy, but when you integrate forgiveness into your marriage it becomes a whole lot easier.
Forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean forgetting the problem. If this were the case, how would you ever learn anything? Forgiveness is about seeking to grow with your spouse.
In order for forgiveness to work best in your marriage, remember that perspective matters. Regardless of how you meant something, if your spouse is hurt by it, you need to seek forgiveness. When others' feelings are hurt, restitution is what matters (not vengeance).
Truly learn how to forgive your spouse for his/her faults & mistakes. If you give false forgiveness, it may only push your partner further away. When he/she seeks forgiveness from you, the best thing you can do to keep your marriage in tact is to truly seek peace. When you are able to feel peace, you can forgive. And when you forgive, you can be happy.
It is so easy to get caught up in your emotions and to dig your feet into an unforgiving attitude. But this truly stunts the growth of your relationship with your spouse. If you seek to freely forgive your spouse, you will be better able to connect and grow in love.
Sometimes, forgiveness is hard. But when you have a forgiving attitude, your spouse's wonderful attributes will be front & center in your mind. You will be able to focus on your love & appreciation for him/her, rather than on the flaws.
Be quick to forgive & quicker to ask for forgiveness. When you and your partner do this in sync, your marriage will thrive.
