Why Some Choose to Forgive a Spouse—And How They Do It

This extended webinar, led by Emerson Eggerichs, explores why and how some choose to forgive their spouse, drawing from the powerful example of Erika Kirk’s forgiveness of her husband’s murderer. Through real-life stories, it offers practical guidance for couples seeking to overcome betrayal, hurt, or daily frustrations by choosing a forgiving spirit rooted in Christ’s mercy. Ideal for those navigating pain in relationships, it challenges viewers to surrender resentment and embrace healing.

There is even a Crazy Cycle of its own that spins between a mother and her son: without respect a son reacts without love, and without love a mother reacts without respect.
