- Ego - A selfish unwillingness to admit mistakes.
- False expectations on how we feel someone might respond.
- Unwillingness to see things from another's point of view.
And maybe a fourth thing - we are very slow to forgive others and so we feel they will not forgive us.
It doesn't make any sense to allow things to fester so that anger grows when a simple conversation can end the contention and begin healing. It is amazing how healthy following God's way is to our lives!

Kevin is right. I believe that it must start with our spouses. This is where we learn unconditional love. This is the person who knows all our unlovable traits and habits, and loves us anyway. So forgiveness is learned in that relationship. Then we practice it with others. -CZ
