"Resentment is like drinking a glass of poison and then glaring at your offender as you wait for him to die. Resentment is self-destructive, which is another reason we must forgive -- we have no more right to harm ourselves than to harm anyone else made in God's image. It's not that the other person didn't do something wrong. It's that if we aren't careful, their wrong can take ownership of our hearts and minds. In a very real way, resentment allows another to own part of you. Resentment can become an obsession, stealing your joy and ability to see clearly. When it comes to your marriage, you need all the clarity you can get. The call to forgive is also a path to your own freedom." (Paul and Sandy Coughlin, "Married But Not Engaged")
Hope all is going well!
