Why are we so often reluctant to forgive our spouse? Forgiveness is about cancelling debts- we hold onto the debt because it gives us power, identity, weaponry and entitlement. None of these make for a healthy relationship! Are there debts you need to cancel with your spouse?

If there is unforgiveness in your relationship, the chances are you are actively nurturing dislike. As we hold onto and brood over past wrongdoing, we begin to see everything our spouse does through that negative lens. #forgivenessiskey #cancelthosedebts #familylifeuk

What are some good communication habits you could work on? Taking time out to calm down and gather thoughts, seeing the other person's point of view, listen attentively, taking your partner's feelings seriously, asking clarifying questions, not interrupting! #adaytogether
