"Be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32)
It's time for some heart examination. As you continue in this 30-day challenge, have you found any roots of bitterness that are contaminating your relationship with your husband? Do you understand that as long as you are unwilling to forgive your husband (by God's grace and in His power) you will not be able to encourage him? Your own resentment will keep getting in the way. Now is the time to deal with any unforgiving attitudes. Forgive him, even as God has forgiven you.
Is your husband a forgiving man? Does he keep short accounts of your problems? Express your thankfulness for such a man.
Does your husband--rightly or wrongly--harbor grudges against you? Again, are there things you need to change, or do you need to ask for his forgiveness for an offense? Help your husband be more forgiving by quickly forgiving him for his mistakes.: My husband has a very forgiving heart, he quickly forgives me, as well as others. I am very fortunate to be blessed with a husband that never harbors a grudge.

Dear Denise,
Wonderful marriage post and for life in general especially :
"Be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32)
That is so true life is too precious and so is a marriage sanctified by God to be mad or holding grudges I am so glad that your husband is so wonderful that way. Thanks for the reminders and inspiration .
Hugs and Love,
Angel ():) ( D.)
Your Eddie is such a gem. The Lord has been good to you indeed in giving Eddie to you. I must remember to pray for Eddie more!
