Do you seriously repent, apologize and forgive one another, or do you try to just ignore the fact it happened. Do you bring up his or her past mistakes over and over when you are frustrated? How do we reconnect with our spouses, or really anyone, in a Godly way, when they have wronged us?

“All sin is against God, and yeah someone can sin against you or come against you, but even if they don’t do that, they are always sinning against God… and that relationship with God is the one the one that matters more than any other one.”
