Folks, if you are a wife that has a husband or if you are a husband that has a wife, then you need to not forget and definitely don't say that it's all your spouse's fault! Because, it really does take two to tango!
I read somewhere before or maybe my Pastor mentioned it sometime, and I'm pretty sure God spoke to my heart to stop focusing on the fault of the spouse and to let God do the reprimanding, and for me to focus on the forgiving.
Wow, that made sense, that was a total eye-opener. That was totally difficult. However, though difficult, it is very much needed. I'm a total mess up. My spouse messes up as well. Is my marriage perfect? No! Is any marriage perfect? Again I say no!
People who are married, I think what we need to realize is that, in our marriage, all the blame for marital problems does not go to one person. Friends, we need to realize that and maybe it will help our minds focus on being more forgiving.
Personally, I know I need to remember that more. I'm thinking it definitely will help me to be more forgiving and more understanding when my spouse may end up messing up and hurting me or vice versa for my spouse.

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Proverbs 28:13 ESV
Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Romans 2:1 ESV
Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.
