The Unforgiving. Forgiveness is a very essential ingredient in having a successful marriage because when two people come together, there is bound to be offences here and there due to adjustment process which is a result of varying systems of upbringing. Men especially, could be very careless most of the time and offend their spouses without knowing it. The question now is, if you have a lady in your life that doesn’t forgives easily, how many baggage of unforgiveness would she have to keep dragging along in your life? With such a woman in your life, you may not move forward as you should because unforgiveness keeps her down, drags her backwards and makes her keep focusing on the past which invariably makes little or nothing happen for you in life. It may work perfectly well in other institutions but in marriage, such attitude will not make both of you go far because it’s an aura that automatically spreads.
This type of lady bottles up her anger and harbour resentments till a day she feels your cup has run over then she explodes! She hardly lets go of offences even after you might have apologised to the best of your ability. She is very good at recalling past mistakes and offences as far back as five years with detailed report of how you messed up. Some couples have been married for almost ten years now yet the wife is still bitter against her in-laws and invariably formed an opinion about them due to the fact that they didn’t complete the traditional items they were to bring during the wedding. When she is angry, most of the times, she refuses to open up despite a lot of petting. When she shuts down, she does so completely and nothing changes her mind till sometimes when she is able to retaliate the hurt. Some of these ladies even take things over board and result into violence. For such, give a careful consideration if you must go ahead in marriage with them.
