Description
It probably wouldn’t take you long to think of a mistake you’ve made in your marriage, a sin you committed, a moment of selfish action that you wish you could take back, or some poor choices you aren’t proud of.
Whether it’s a string of explosive words during an argument, the angry look you gave, retaliating in bitterness, or the worst form of betrayal, no matter how justified you feel in the moment, regret inevitably sets in.
You know that feeling that comes immediately after: the sinking pit, that heat rising to your cheeks, the strong urge to run and hide?
Then there’s the lingering side effects you can’t seem to kick: the restless nights, the tears, the feeling sick to your stomach, the distance between you and the other person.
Regret can wreck you. It can ruin a relationship almost as much as, if not more than, the sin originally committed, the wrong initially done.
What if instead of letting it wreck you, instead of it holding you back from having the marriage you want, you actually used it to your advantage? What if it actually made your marriage better?
