Forgive/release grudges

No one is perfect so we will all inevitably make mistakes in our relationships that are sure to make our partners feel a certain way. Commit to forgiveness and if you catch yourself secretly harboring grudges and resentment, do the work that is needed — including connecting with a therapist or marriage counselor — to let that hurt go. Talk about what is bothering you and try to come to an understanding, and then move on. In the same vein as staying in the present, make the necessary effort to communicate and then let it go. It’s for the best for your relationship.
