Forgiving is many times very difficult in life although it is essential for Marriage Restoration. What even seems to be more difficult is forgiving our close loved ones and spouses for past hurts and pains. Because we hold our loved ones close to us and their decisions and actions effect us greatly in ways that do not effect us when others outside of them do things toward us, it becomes an even more difficult task for most of us. In order to succeed with Marriage Restoration it is very crucial that we forgive no matter how wrong something may feel. There are 4 steps to help you and your spouse to move the past in the past, place forgiveness on the table and embrace Marriage Restoration.

- Be sure to reflect on your own personal relationship with God, then commit to God’s Will with your spouse, as well as individually. Making sure you are in right relationship with God is the foundation of committing to His Will. By being in right relationship with Him, you are able to hear Him speak to you, your life and your marriage.

2) Agree to tell the truth from this point on, with no lies. Honesty is imperative and builds trust back into the relationship so that doubt no longer resides.

- Allow communication and discussions to be without attacks, while giving each other respect and uninterrupted time to express feelings, thoughts and concerns.

4) Pray over it and agree to move forward without ever looking back on it. It is important that God remain the foundation of your new Marriage Restoration plan. He will supply every need and give you strength, knowledge and wisdom, as well as patience to endure the change.

Marriage Restoration and forgiveness go hand and hand. God’s desire for us is reconciliation which happens during Marriage Restoration. Having a solid action plan is necessary to alleviating some of the hardships of forgiving during Marriage Restoration. As Jesus Christ is our example, modeling Him as He forgives, just as He did when he died and saved us in the midst of our sin, we too must forgive.

Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
