Getting Yourself Ready for Marriage 1: The Tough Questions预览

Letting Go of the Past

Devotional Content:

Your past relationships affect you. Often we let past relationships bleed over into new relationships. This can cause a lot of problems in dating and in marriage.

If you are still holding onto hurts of past relationships, it’s time to start letting go of those hurts so that you can move forward. That means it may be time to forgive.

Until you forgive, you are still tied to that other person and you are still giving them power in your life. Forgiveness is a decision. You have to choose to forgive. Forgiveness is also a process. Stay focused and committed to the process and you will get there.

If you are going to build a new, healthy relationship and marriage, you have to finish up the unfinished business of old relationships.
