Love is Responsible
Confession and asking for forgiveness is one of those areas in relationships that is particularly difficult. However, it's one of the most necessary elements of a relationship for authenticity and sincerity. Pride and ego can be the biggest obstacles in accepting the responsibility that one needs in a love relationship.
When a person accepts responsibility in a relationship, there are no more excuses. The circumstances don't matter nearly as much as the other person's needs. We must be willing to admit our short-comings and be responsible enough to correct them.
Humility before God and your spouse are the keys to a healthy marriage. Admit when you've fallen short and ask for forgiveness - first from God, then from your mate.
God's Word says He is quick to forgive and that His mercies are new every morning. Your spouse's willingness to forgive may not be as quick and easy. Allow God to work in your mate's heart and realize your responsibility is fulfilled when you confessed and repented.
