NO FORGIVENESS OVER DINNER

In "What’s so Amazing About Grace," Philip Yancey tells a story about a man and wife who one night had an argument about how supper was to be cooked. The argument was so heated that they slept in separate rooms. Neither approached the other to say "I’m sorry" or to offer forgiveness, and they remained in separate rooms years after the argument. Each night they would go to bed hoping that the other will approach them with an apology or forgiveness, but neither goes to the other.
