In the wake of the John and Elizabeth Edwards scandal and today's news about the investigation, we are given an example of the commitment of two people and their decision to stay married.
(See my story posted earlier.)
Divorce is always a thick cloud. So often marriages are on the rocks because one or the other feels angry. Michelle Weiner-Davis tells us that “Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself.”
She says, “Lack of forgiveness imprisons you. It takes its toll on your physical and emotional health. It keeps you stuck in the deepest of relationship ruts. No matter how justified you feel about your point of view regarding your partner's insensitive behavior, you still are miserable.
"When you wake up each morning, a gray tint shadows your life. You walk around with a low-grade depression. You can't feel joy because you're too busy being angry or feeling disappointed.”
How can you save your marriage?
She points out words that many religious leaders tell us, “Forgiveness isn't a feeling. It is a decision. You decide that you are going to start tomorrow with a clean slate.” Take a look at Divorce Busting
