No marriage is perfect. We all have missteps and things that, as we look back on them, we would have done differently. Your marriage partner is the person you spend the most time with on this earth. But it’s important to remember that each of you, each of us, is human. We’re humans with emotion–with good days and bad days–and sometimes we take it out on one another. So, how will you respond? Your next steps will either make things better or worse. Remember to be patient and take the long view. That’s what marriage is about. That, and giving grace and forgiveness. You’ll find that handling those setbacks and missteps in marriage gets a lot easier when you do.
