Episode Synopsis

In today's episode, we're discussing THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS IN MARRIAGE. Forgiveness is essential for a healthy, Christ-centered marriage, whether you're newlyweds or have been together for decades.
Marriage can have moments of hurt and misunderstanding, so forgiveness is a continuous process that strengthens relationships, prevents small grievances from building up, and allows us to extend grace to our spouses.
We explore how unforgiveness is like drinking poison, and highlight the importance of humility and reflecting God's heart in our actions. Practical steps to forgiveness include open communication, prayer, patience, remembering the love that brought you together, and seeking counsel when needed.

Scriptures Covered in Today’s Episode:
Ephesians 4:32
Matthew 6:14-15
Colossians 3:13
Matthew 6:12
Mark 11:24-25
James 5:16

Today’s question to guide your reflection is: 
Forgiving others is an act of faith and obedience to God’s word. Ask the Lord to reveal to you any unforgiveness you may be harboring, repent, and lay the issue at Jesus’ feet. 
How can you make forgiving your spouse a regular part of your prayer life?
