Few situations stir panic like being trapped in a relationship. Some opt to flee, to get out of the relationship. Others fight, and tension becomes a way of life. A few, however, discover another treatment: forgiveness.<\/p>\n

He forgave their sin before they even committed it. He offered mercy before they even sought it.<\/p>\n
