Episode notes
When to Forgive In-Person
- Forgiveness should be extended face-to-face when you've sinned against someone and they need to hear your apology directly.
- Sin in thought requires private confession to God, but sin in action hurting others demands personal restitution.
Forgiving When Not Asked
- Forgiving someone who hasn't asked for forgiveness often requires private processing.
- In marriage, face-to-face forgiveness brings healing; for others, silent forgiveness may be necessary.
How to Reprioritize Marriage
- Reprioritize your marriage by recognizing seasons where kids' needs take precedence temporarily.
- Maintain small, consistent habits like phone-free time to connect regularly even in busy seasons.
