Forgiveness improves the quality of relationships.

When I entered their house I felt uneasy as I sensed the disharmony. Even though the man and his wife warmly greeted me and welcomed me into their home, I could sense that all was not well between them. They were not communicating with each other. He was complaining to me about women in general. I don't think he has forgiven his mother! He certainly was not forgiving his wife for not meeting his expectations of her. I believe that she also was very unwilling to forgive him. I sensed her anger and frustration, though she did not tell me her grievances. I much preferred visiting other houses, where I experienced people being more forgiving of themselves and of each other. They are able to communicate much more effectively, and are more willing to grow and learn from each other. .
