“Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much.”

“Most importantly, love each other deeply, because love cause many sins to be forgiven. - 1 Peter 4:8”

“Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.”

“Ruth wiped her eyes. Successful at a price? Forgiven but damaged? She wished so much more for her baby sister.”

“Husbands are not Christ. But they are called to be like him. And the specific point of likeness is the husband's readiness to suffer for his wife's good without threatening or abusing her. This includes suffering to protect her from any outside forces that would harm her, as well as suffering disappointments of abuses even from her. This kind of love is possible because Christ died for both husband and wife. Their sins are forgiven. Neither needs to make the other suffer for sins. Christ has borne that suffering. Now as two sinful and forgiven people we can return good for evil.”

“She loved him so much she concealed his name in many phrases, the inner meanings known only to her.”
