Summary

Dr. Gary Chapman explains how we can begin to heal any relationship by taking responsibility for our part of the problem and seeking forgiveness from both God and the other person. He explains how small injustices can create bricks in a wall between us and our loved one, and the place to start is tearing down the wall on our side. Dr. Chapman illustrates the concept of forgiveness through Bible verses and through descriptions of conflicts with his own wife and son. (Part 2 of 2)
