Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as vengefulness, with an increased ability to wish the offender well.
Elder Faust said that we are given freedom in our hearts when we forgive.
In families we tend to protect our ownselves by making sure that we are taken care of, but the most hurt that happens in families and sometimes marriages. We are comforted when we forgive. We have to forgive to be forgiven. The healing powers can help us when we forgive others.
Here is a great talk on finding peace

Bishop Waddell tells us that,"
The peace we all seek requires us to act—by learning of Jesus Christ, by listening to His words, and by walking with Him."
I think that forgiveness is a virtue. It doesn't just happen. We have to be able to find peace and truly forgive. I ove this quote I found.
