When anger is not met with forgiveness, something evil begins to happen in the human heart. Anger gives way to bitterness, resentment, unkind words and unkind deeds, hatred and disgust, which give way to chaos and destruction. And when this series of events take place between a husband and a wife, its toxic effect fractures their relationship and family life often culminating in separation and divorce. It's not easy to forgive and no one, including Jesus, ever said it was. Forgiveness is a demanding process but a process that brings hope, healing, and new life - even to some of the most tried relationships.
