Here is yet another issue between my husband and me.  We were talking to a group of friends about forgiveness.  Lately, two of the friends suggested to him that he should forgive one of his parents.  He then got upset with me, saying, “See what you have done?  Now, we even have our friends pressuring me into a forgiveness that I do not want to offer.”  What do you think?  How should I respond to him about this?

It is important that your husband realizes that forgiveness is his own free will choice and that people should not pressure him into this.  He then may be able to see that the friends are well-intentioned, but he does not have to automatically follow their lead on this.  When he is ready, he may go ahead and forgive.
