While many are blessed enough to find unions that suit them, some others are fortunate enough to find only unions they can live with and many others end up with false dawns and marriages with deadlines.

For people in the last category, the time of their marriages elapse in a before long not always because these marriages are irredeemable, but because partners refuse to work on certain habits. They’ll rather leave them to fester and become the cancer that eats away at the marriage till it wastes away.

There are many of these habits, one major one being unforgiveness. A refusal or inability to forgive wrongs is one habit that WILL always bring relationships and marriages to their feet. If you are the type of person who chooses to stew in unforgiving silence for hours and days when offended, you are at the risk of getting a marriage with a deadline.

All relationships, even before they transform into marriages have moments of differences.
