Love Doesn't Keep Score


Listen Later

Did you know that love doesn't keep score?
In this recording I discuss the harmful effects of keeping score in a relationship. This is part 9 of a series entitled "Love Is..." from 1 Corinthians 13, the famous love chapter in the Bible.

1 Corinthians 13:5 says that love does not keep a record of wrongs.

Join me as I explain how resentment can build over time, and as I provide four suggestions for curbing the habit of holding onto past hurts. These include confronting issues calmly, allowing for effective apologies, seeking God's assistance for forgiveness, and going through the process of forgiveness. Alongside these, I discuss the four R's of an effective apology - Responsibility, Remorse, Repentance, and Request forgiveness.
