Donna relates a story about how the 70×7 couples’ retreat she ran helped one couple to work
through forgiveness:

“When you attend marriage seminars, you expect to get told about
communication, about how to be a better husband, how to be a better wife, and how to raise
your kids. But this teaching on forgiveness was totally different.”
One wife explained how her husband was
struggling with forgiveness for things that had
happened to him early in his life. But the 70×7
course gave him the courage to share his past
with her. She said: “Now I can carry it with him,
now I can journey with him through his struggles,
because he opened up and I can now help him
through his forgiveness issues.”

The couple came to realize that it’s about
forgiving their parents for what happened in the past – and then coming together as a couple
and finding healing with each other, and then helping each other journey through that healing
with God’s help
