1 Corinthians 13:4-8 talks about what love is. Love is patient, love is kind; you know what I'm talking about. But do we remember what is in the middle of the quote? It says (depending on what version/interpretation you read) it keeps no records of wrongs. But what does that mean?

We all know love to be that feeling we get when we are around someone or when we are thinking of them. Whether that be a spouse, a child, or other family member. In this instance, let us refer to love in the sense of a relationship; a marriage. Keep that in mind.

We know how we want to be treated. We want our other half to be patient with us. We want them to be kind to us. We don't want them to be easily angered. But flip that around and are all of those things YOUR first reaction? Let us hope so. 

We need to treat others the way WE want to be treated. It is quoted many times in the bible by Jesus, but even as far back as Leviticus 19:18. Love thy neighbor as yourself. Do we want our lover keeping records of our wrongs? When we mess up or make a mistake, do we want that held over our heads? No way! So what should we all do when people trespass against us? Forgive and forget. Or in a more simple term, FUGGETABOUTIT! ;)
