Weekly Insight for Intimacy (re-posted from National Institute of Marriage)
“One of the most difficult and humbling things to do is to admit wrong, apologize and ask forgiveness. However, it can serve as a wonderful way to make possible reconciliation, healing and growth in relationships. In fact, scripture suggests that if someone holds anything against us, we should seek to restore the relationship ahead of laying our gift at the altar (Matthew 5:23-24). It seems significant that we would try to right a horizontal relationship ahead of worshiping our Lord. Is there anything for which you need to seek forgiveness from your spouse? If so, what would prevent you from doing so ASAP?”

At Stuttgart Harvest Church we know having trouble is normal. Not doing the right and wise things to make a relationship better is, we  unfortunately know, normal as well. Explore the National Institute of Marriage today and find some help. Your future is worth it.

And after all… we are all works in progress so keep doing the next wise thing.
