It Takes Two

When it comes to relationships it takes two.  Couples are always ready and willing to take the glory when it comes to success, but what about failure.  Where relationships are concerned that still requires two people as well. 

More often than not, one part of the duo has done something to set a collapse in motion.  That person may have behaved inappropriately, but what was happening.  Was something going on?  Or missing?  Of course, a partner that breaks a promise is at fault because adults should be responsible for their actions, but something, examined or not, was already wrong to get to that point. 

Take into consideration what’s really going on, if necessary.  However, if you are no longer in the “bad” relationship, reflect on the whole story; forgiving them and yourself for whatever part you may have played.  Forgiveness doesn’t mean you condone what happened or will partake in more of it.  It means that you are free of it because you have given the burden to God.
