THINGS I WISH I'D KNOWN BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos:3:3
WHAT FORGIVENESS IS NOT
Forgiveness is does not rebuild trust. A husband who had been sexually unfaithful to his wife later broke off the affair and apologized to his wife. She said to me in the counseling office, "I think I have forgiven him, but I don't trust him. That makes me to wonder if I have really forgiven him." The fact is, forgiveness does not automatically restore trust. Trust is that gut-level confidence that someone is a person of integrity. Trust in a relationship is destroyed when one partner is unfaithful. When you do not keep your commitment to me, I lose trust in you. I no longer have confidence that you will treat me fairly and honestly.
Forgiveness does not automatically restore trust, but forgiveness does open the door to the possibility that trust can be regained.
You have to change your behavior, be faithful and trustworthy.
Thanks for following, we should finish this chapter in a day or two.
To be Continued.
