Yes, we are supposed to forgive one another because we are all sinners and God always forgives us when we ask.

Also be aware she might verbally say, “I forgive you” but her actions and emotions might not match up with that right away.</p> <p>Don’t go in without a plan for recovery. If you know what you need in order to find freedom from your addiction, let your spouse know how you are actively breaking your addiction. If you are at a total loss for what your next steps should be, enlist the help of a trusted friend, pastor, or counselor.</p> <p>Don’t stop praying. Keep praying individually and together.
