Description:

Have you ever forgiven someone who hurt you, only to have resentful feelings begin to fester a short time later? How does that scenario change when it is your spouse who caused you pain? In this program, Chip explains why forgiveness is a powerful skill couples need to harness. Learn about the dangers of unresolved conflict in relationships and the freedom that comes when you genuinely say, “I forgive you.”

Introduction:

  • The foundation of a great family begins with a deep, intimate marriage.

Three skills for a great marriage:

  • Skill #1: FORGIVING
  • Skill #2: COMMUNICATION
  • Skill #3: RESOLVING CONFLICT

Forgiveness – What it’s not and what it is:

  • Forgiveness is NOT a quick fix or an excuse to be a “doormat” by repeatedly accepting hurtful behavior without addressing the root issues
  • Forgiveness IS a spiritual discipline that involves three distinct parts:
  1. It’s a DECISION
  2. It’s a PROCESS
  3. It actually is ACCOMPLISHED

The parable of the unforgiving servant:

  • Matthew 18:21-35

Three-part method for forgiveness:

  1. Act: Choose to forgive.
  2. Process: Actively pray and bless the person with your words and actions.
  3. Accomplished: The true test of forgiveness is when you can genuinely rejoice in the other person’s success and well-being.
