Reflect
Answer honestly — your responses save to this device only. There are no right answers, only true ones.
What grudge am I still quietly carrying that she doesn't even know about?
What unresolved hurt do I keep weaponizing during fights?
Where am I expecting her to earn forgiveness instead of receive it?
What have I done that I have never directly asked her to forgive me for?
What pattern of mine creates the same wound over and over again?
What would it look like to forgive her today — fully — for that thing?
Act
Pick one. Do it before Sunday. Check it off when it's done.
Discuss
These prompts are designed for connection — not debate. Listen more than you talk.
Each share: 'A time you forgave me that I'll never forget.'
Talk about a past hurt that still has a charge. Listen, don't defend.
Answer: 'What does forgiveness look like in action — not just words?'
"Forgiveness frees both of you. Lead her into freedom by going first."
