Wow, this was great to hear. I grew up in a dysfunctional family where no one ever apologized. Throughout my life I have been attracted to people who have experienced the same despite my willingness to put that type of toxic living behind me. I'm realizing now that genuine apologies are important and I'm not weak for desiring them. I'm also realizing that if a person is unwilling to confess their wrongs to you in the same way you are then the relationship just might never mend or be worth it.
Wow, this is so good. So on point. Forgiving doesn't equal forgetting. Forgiving doesn't equal zero consequences. Jesus forgave the theif on the cross, but He didn't take him down. Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land because of his disobedience. The prodigal son was forgiven and accepted back by the Father- but he still wasted and squandered his inheritance on partying and women. The son who stayed with the Father was the one who still had his inheritance. Forgiveness does not mean there are no consequences. Your husband may have squandered his inheritance (you, your marraige, you sex life, your family, ect) on other women. My body/life was bought and paid for by the blood of the Lamb. And I should not just frivolously give it to someone who abuses it, or me. Matt 7:6. Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. The Bible is cery clear that we are not to even eat with unrepentant adulterers, let alone sleep with them, be intimate, and freely give my body, which is the Temple of the Holy Spirit to someone who has defiled himself, me, our marraige bed ect. 1 Cor 5:1-13. It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. 2 And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you..... 11c-13. Do not even to eat with such a one (sexually immoral "brother" in Christ). For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” 1 Cor 6:13b. The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 1 Corinthians 6:9-20. Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”-and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
I heard on Moody this morning the story of two brothwrscwho have not spike in over 15 yr. applied your method of forgiveness and it worked. my sister and family have not talked to me for years and now I have been charged with a debt that is not mine because my family has a lot to do with my pain and suffering. I getting your book to help me move beyond. This week the US Dept of Treasury and Dept if Education will begin taking my social security benefits. For years I have been angry about this matter and now I know the answer this morning thank you.
Is there any book that discuss how to move on or what to do when a person (toxic parents) has hurt you but they are unwilling to apologize? It’s been years but I’m still hurting and it’s like a cycle always repeating itself. I’m wearing out. Any help?
ive had enough of people always using the man as the one doing the wrong and the female as the victim. it never fails. all you gotta do is say "spouse" and make it equal instead of painting the picture of the man being the abuser all the time. abuse is definitely not gender specific and i expected more from Gary Chapman than this considering i was a big fan of 5 love languages and him supposed to be a Christian.

Where is the rest of the audiobook?
Is there any book that discuss how to move on or what to do when a person (toxic parents) has hurt you but they are unwilling to apologize? It’s been years but I’m still hurting and it’s like a cycle always repeating itself. I’m wearing out. Any help?
Where can I download this book PDF?

What if you only apologize affer years...will that change the relationship again?
Time allows the anger to take root, and the deeper the roots, the less uprooting ability the apology will have to help the anger.
I believe it will although it may take more work but it’s never too late to do the right thing
