Husband and wife forgiveness
The importance of forgiveness
The importance of forgiveness can never be overstated especially in husband & wife relations – in fact if you want to develop better relations with your husband or wife, you may need to do little more than learn how to say Sorry and ask to be forgiven.
Any relationship centers on a deep level of collaboration between two people whose needs and wants differ, and therefore who frequently forget the importance of selflessness in successful human relations, and even forget the power of forgiveness and peace.
This page is a brief introduction to the way the 7 Words Method can address issues to do with conflicts and how to resolve them. There are e-books and free mini-courses available if you want to go further.

How?

The 7 Words System is defined by the idea that in all the complexity of human relationships, there are only seven core gestures of communication. They are encapsulated by the 7 primary words and accessed by 28 keywords. For example, Thanks keywords are these:
- Appreciation
- Valuing
- Giving
- Heart Essence
The 7 aspects of expression are the essential themes within all things—they convey the necessary stages that healthy exchanges go through because they are the foundation of all thoughts, ideas and behaviours. Their presence and use are signs of a committed relationship. By deepening our understanding of these words, we can come to clarity, truth and completion in all our dealings and our personality compatibility with everyone in our lives. The 7 words can develop in us a mastery of communication that enables us to focus our minds, to speak our truth, and to thrive in all our relationships.

Let’s look again at the opening statement:
The importance of forgiveness can never be overstated especially in husband & wife relations – in fact if you want to develop better relations with your husband or wife, you may need to do little more than learn how to say Sorry and ask to be forgiven. Here we are seeing the 6th primary word Sorry as the key that unlocks the healing power of forgiveness.
With the word Sorry we have a higher degree of awareness of others and their needs, and also why they have to be so different from ours. It’s to do with refinement. The refining process is described with the keywords of Sorry—beginning with responsibility; developing the feeling of remorse, then repairing the damage so that we can release our attachments to the past.
There are often difficulties arising in life where two motives collide, acted out by individuals or groups and sanctified as causes, creeds, political imperatives and so on. Also there is the more straightforward case where the desire of one doesn’t reconcile with the desire of another. This is so often the case that we can safely see it as the normal life condition; certainly it’s the one that wins most of our attention. We wouldn’t have much of an entertainment industry if our books and films had a story line based on harmony: Woman meets man; they build a lovely house and family together, never have any problems or disagreements and spend their time appreciating the flowers, until they simultaneously die of natural causes aged 92. As a story it rather lacks bite doesn’t it?
The collision of motivations offers us what we actually want and need out of our time on Earth. We may think we yearn for unending harmony and yet there’s no evidence for this except the myth of fairy stories that allow protagonists to live happily ever after. (After the collision has been resolved, incidentally). We want collision in order to refine identity, in order to deepen involvements, in order to come to a better knowledge of others and ourselves. Yet there is no need for collision to be seen as beyond our capacity to handle. We can grow to meet the challenges, and the proof that we have grown lies in whether we can release them.
Benefits can be gained from applying 7 Words in all areas and many aspects of this question: the collaboration between two people whose needs and wants differ, and therefore who frequently forget the importance of selflessness in successful human relations, and even forget the power of forgiveness and peace.
Here is the fundamental suggestion behind 7 Words—that there are seven basic qualities of life experience, particularly including personal compatibility, which can be described by 7 primary words:
No Hello Thanks Goodbye Please Sorry Yes
