An ordinary night turned into one of our hardest. A small argument spiraled, leaving my husband and me in silence, retreating to separate rooms—hurt, angry, unable to rest.
Alone in the dark, I replayed our harsh words, knowing we hadn’t meant them, yet pride kept us apart.
Hours passed. Then—my door creaked open. He stepped in silently, paused beside me, and whispered, “I love you. I’m sorry.”
Those words broke through everything. Tears fell.
By morning, I found him by the coffee pot, like nothing had changed. But everything had. I hugged him and whispered, “I love you too. I’m sorry.”
Forgiveness doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it enters quietly, choosing love over pride—again and again.
