Check out Anne Naylor's new article, "How Forgiveness in Marriage Builds Intimacy."

She writes, "How often do couples bury a hurt and let it rot the relationship over time? It can take courage to openly let your partner know when they have hurt you, so that you place yourself in the position to forgive them; for them to express their love and regret for the misunderstanding or incident. It should be easy with the one you love the most to be that caring and honest. But often, as was in my own case, it is not."

She goes on to offer advice on how to accept and forgive your spouse. Being more forgiving and accepting has to be a goal for us all, right?
