Marriage is an excellent example of unforgiveness in closing a relationship. When a person enters marriage, he or she must leave single life and family. If a man takes his single ways into marriage, he will ruin the marriage. When two people marry, they go their parents and cleave to one another. By taking their parents into a relationship that primarily is for two, and they will end up with their parents and her parents, and try to make a marriage with four people too many.

Spouses who do not forgive their parents eventually find their unforgiveness spoiling their new union. And those whose in-laws are unforgiving will find hardship in relation to their new spouse.

The spirit of unforgiveness is communicated from one person’s spirit to others and closes them off. Holding grudges and letting prejudices spoil intimacy is no way to live. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a wife, husband, child, in-law, friend, neighbor, boss, employee, colleague, father, mother, doctor, or pastor, an unforgiving spirit will close others off and, by doing so, close off part of a person’s life
