Can a relationship survive without forgiveness? Why or why not?
For me a relationship can never survive without forgiveness because if the two partners disagree with each other and no one have the heart 💓 of forgiveness the relationship will fall apart, but if forgiveness take over it will stand.

What’s a common mistake people make in relationships that weakens them over time?

Avoiding difficult conversations Sweeping problems under the rug instead of discussing them openly can lead to resentment and misunderstandings. Letting small issues fester Ignoring minor problems can allow them to grow into bigger ones, causing frustration and strain on the relationship. Failing to communicate needs and boundaries Not expressing your own needs or respecting your partner’s boundaries can lead to feelings of neglect or frustration.
