To FORGIVE others is one of the most difficult things to do in life. When someone wrongs us it hurts and it is easy to want to get back at them. Getting back at them won't make you feel better in the long run, but will is FORGIVING them.
In marriage especially FORGIVENESS is important because let's face it your spouse is going to mess up and hurt you. We are only human and we need to be able to FORGIVE them or your marriage will just crumble. You cannot hold on to things in life because it is unhealthy and you won't gain anything from a grudge. Especially when you live with them and are married to them.
So many marriages end in divorce because they do not FORGIVE their wife/husband. This is not right and it's because a lack of communication. Communicate how you feel and then work on FORGIVING him/her.
"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry
Ephesians 4:26
Another reason to FORGIVE is because we are called to FORGIVE each other, just like GOD FORGAVE us. We aren't perfect and we sin against the maker of the world every single day. He would be perfectly fine not FORGIVING us, but GOD chooses too. HE sent his only son down to Earth to die for us.

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15
But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.Matthew 6:14-15
If you're holding on to a grudge today I encourage you to FORGIVE whoever wronged you and show them love. That is what we're on Earth to do, to love one another.
