Love Keeps No Records of Wrongs

1 Corinthians 13:45 tells us that love keeps no record of wrongs.

Godly love is a mental attitude that causes us to want to pursue the welfare of others, with no bitterness or ill will for any sacrifices we might need to make in this endeavor.  In summary, if you love someone, you are willing to pursue the welfare of that person, meaning that you unselfishly want what’s best for them, to the extent that you’re willing to make significant sacrifices so that person can indeed have what’s best for them.

The key to this Godly mental attitude love is the characteristic of being unselfish. If a husband truly loves his wife, he doesn’t find faults in her where she has failed to live up to his expectations. Instead, he unselfishly wants her to have the best things, even if he has to make sacrifices to acquire those things for her.

Love keeps no record of wrongs–like in a marriage.
