Forgiveness is an essential act in keeping relationships strong. It can be hard to forgive at times because we often associate forgiveness with forgetting. I have heard many people say, If we forget, we can forgive. However, that is not entirely the case. We strengthen our bonds of love and friendship with a plethora of forgiveness and patience.
It starts with treating those you love how you expect to be treated. Be respectful of their perspectives even when you disagree. When you are concerned with expressing yourself to your partner, it can be easy, if you allow it. Your point of views can be different, however, keep calm and state facts rather than opinions. I avoid getting angry and feeling defensive when addressing concerns. Also, it is beneficial to forgive your partner because their support is valuable to you.
