Forgiveness isn't always a one-time thing. There are layers of it that need to be recognized in any situation -especially in a marriage.

Israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. One of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. They were bigger than life. These were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the Jews, for the world. Such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.

Another reason for the increased self-centeredness of an adolescent is her susceptibility to humiliation.

An innocuous clarification of facts can be heard as a monumental criticism.
