Forgive and Forget?

Is it a virtue to forgive and forget? Not always...

If your spouse behaves badly – should you forgive and forget? No. According to a recent study by the University of Tennessee, spouses who were forgiven for bad behavior were almost TWICE as likely to repeat it. Family therapist Kay Francis says bad behavior MUST be confronted. Couples need to deal with the causes and motivation behind it in order to move on. The forgiveness can come over time once it’s clear that bad behavior is gone for good.
