It's called forbearance

Once, I ever think what is needed to hold on to a relationship, any kind of relationship. It could be a marriage, friendship, teamwork, etc.
The first answer popping up in my head was tolerance. If we will tolerate others, their unique behaviours, we might hold on to the relationship we have.

However, this morning, I read an article about forbearance. My eyes were opened, this is the answer. If you ever want to hold on a relationship, you need to forbear another (if you want another to forbear you too ;).

So, I'm calling out for everybody to start learning to forbear one another, whatever their mistakes (hey, remember that you make mistakes too!), their unique behaviours, their way of thinking, their habits, just learn to forbear! It's good, really good.

Wish that God gives us all grace to forbear with one another (esp with your partner... no divorce please... :)
