WHY IT HAPPENS: Power. Some husbands and wives withhold forgiveness to maintain a sort of power over their spouse. Then, when a conflict arises, they use a past event as a trump card to gain the upper hand. Resentment. The scars of a past offense can take a long time to heal. A spouse might say ‘I forgive you’ but still harbor resentment for what happened—perhaps craving to get even.

Commitment is the solution, not the problem. Many people today are skeptical of commitment. Some would compare commitment to a ball and chain that shackles you to a bad decision. Instead, think of it as an anchor that can keep your marriage steady. A wife named Megan says, “During a conflict, one of the best things about commitment is knowing that neither you nor your spouse is leaving.” Having confidence that the marriage itself is secure—even when certain aspects of it are in turmoil can give you a foundation from which to resolve your problems.—The bottom line: If you are experiencing problems in your marriage, now is the time to strengthen commitment, not question it. How can you do that?
