i know a couple who had been estranged from each other for a few years now...then just recently the husband finally got the courage to go to their house to apologize to his wife...the wife apologized to him too...now they are starting to be friends again...who knows maybe there's still a chance for them, right?..

Forgiving each other is a good start. Even if they don't reconcile, I think they will have better lives without the hurt and anger in their hearts.

Yeah, it feels better when you have no hang ups in your heart.

I agree...It's sad when people who once loved each other live the rest of their lives hating each other...

How much time and energy do you spend carrying a grudge? What does it get you? Does it improve your life, or the lives of others?
Forgiveness is very liberating. When you blame others for your troubles, you give them control over your life. Being able to forgive, to let it go, puts you back in control.

Of course you don't want to let people take advantage of you. But if someone has already harmed you or slighted you, there's no need to continue making it worse for yourself by fretting and worrying about it. When someone cuts you off on the freeway, it's a bad experience. Should you make it worse by fuming and complaining about it for the rest of the day? Take what you can from it, learn from it, and then let it go.

Let it go, and get on with your life. Turning the other cheek benefits you more than anyone else

Yeah, forgiveness is liberating. It also makes you open to love again.

Let hurt inflict you only for some time, then you have to move on and let go of the hurt inside by forgiving the person who hurt us.

Maybe things will never be the same for them but they can always start from scratch.

Being friends after the relationship is ideal but this rarely happens. Pride dictate their actions. It was big of him to go to his wife to ask forgiveness.
