Mercy and Grace in Relationships

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. – 1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT

Biblical Secrets to a Happy Marriage – a @YouVersion Plan

“When we allow God’s love and mercy to flow through us to our spouse, we will find less conflict, more grace, quicker forgiveness and much more delight at home.”

We have a God that shows us far more grace, love, and mercy than we deserve. So it really goes without question that we need to attempt to do b the same in our relationships, especially with our spouse.
