Obviously this goes for women as well as men. I realize we can’t expect perfection of each other, but we can expect honesty and repentance. Not talking about a mistake or an issue will not decrease the damage it does to a relationship. Yes, time does heal wounds, but you must first dress them through confession, repentance, and forgiveness. Silence is selfishness. Humility & honesty is the more difficult road, but it will get you where you want to go.
