A Union of Two Forgivers

two-forgivers-heidistjohn

It’s been said that “A good marriage is the union of two forgivers.” I couldn’t agree more. I know that my husband forgives me every day. Little things that I could’ve said better, mostly. 🙂 It’s amazing to me how I can be the most inconsiderate to the ones I love the most.

Over the years I’ve spoken to many moms about this, and it seems it’s a common struggle. Sometimes it’s easier to be kind to the woman at WalMart than it is to our own family. After all, the woman at the store might just haul off and kick me if I’m rude to her, right?! 🙂

I think we easily take our most precious relationships for granted, because we feel the most comfortable with the ones with whom our relationships are the most secure.

Do you need to be forgiven? Ask for it. Do you need to forgive? Don’t put it off.

Today, let’s purpose to TELL our husbands how much we love them. Remind your husband about those qualities in him that you love and admire. Flirt with him. <3 Invite him to bed for a change. Believe me, he’ll love you for it!

It’s never too late to invest in your marriage.
It’s never too late to forgive.

And it’s never to late to be forgiven.

    Hi Heidi..this is totally off topic, but I am not sure how else to reach you on the matter. I have been trying to purchase items in your store, but the website does not seem to be functioning properly at all. I tried to join your email list and the submit button would not seem to work either. So I am just leaving you this message to let you know there may be some hic-cups on the site that you may want to look into. Thanks 🙂 love your podcasts by the way!

      Feel free to skip that spot or put 37891 just for a zip code to put in. (And ignore it if you ever get an email about Heidi coming to Tennessee. lol!) You are definitely welcome to get the newsletter!
