And I say &#8216;we&#8217; because I used to do that,&#8221; Robertson Huff said. &#8220;And it keeps us in dating relationships that we really shouldn&#8217;t be in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She advised Christians in a non-marriage relationship to use &#8220;discernment&#8221; to figure out whether they need to &#8220;move on&#8221; from a particular issue in their relationship or break off the relationship entirely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you are not married and you are in a dating relationship, and someone is doing something perpetually that is wrong, &#8230; I think that is when you go, &#8216;red flag!&#8217; and break up with the dude,&#8221; Robertson Huff said. &#8220;I think that is when you go, &#8216;This person is showing me the side of his character that is not just a one-time mistake but actually a part of who he is and a sin he struggles with.&#8217; That should be a red flag to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But for those married and in a covenant relationship, she said couples shouldn&#8217;t dwell on their spouse&#8217;s wrongdoings if the other partner has apologized and asked for forgiveness. Robertson pointed to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bibleportal.com\/passage?search=1+Corinthians+13%3A5&amp;version=NIV\">1 Corinthians 13:5<\/a>, which states that godly love &#8220;keeps no record of wrongs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xvlWqKnLD70\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do think that this verse is so important, and this has convicted me a lot in our relationship,&#8221; she said, referring to her husband.\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s so easy to be like, &#8216;Well, you didn&#8217;t do this,&#8217; or &#8216;you didn&#8217;t do that.&#8217;\u2026 Or &#8216;remember one year ago when you did this.&#8217; You cannot do that. You cannot bring up all the past because one moment is going wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robertson Huff finds it essential to keep a clean slate over another partner in marriage because that&#8217;s what God does for humanity.\u00a0&#8220;What if God was always keeping a record of wrongs over us? And I think that&#8217;s the root of where that verse comes from,&#8221; she said. &#8220;God is love. God keeps no records of wrongs. God&#8217;s forgiveness washes over us. When the blood of Jesus comes over us, our sins are forgiven, and God loves us as new and as pure and as lovely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In her marriage, Robertson Huff said constantly bringing up wrongs of the past &#8220;would just make for a really hard tough relationship with a lot of shame in it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For me to go; &#8216;you know what? That&#8217;s forgiven&#8217; and actually forgive him for it &#8230; [and] not bring it up the next time something similar happens [and] not bring it up a year later when it has nothing to do with the context of what we&#8217;re going through right now,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>She advised married Christians to approach each day as a &#8220;day of new mercies and a day of new forgiveness and a day of new opportunities.&#8221; Christian Huff shared that it&#8217;s wise for couples to talk through things when disagreements arise and one partner is tempted to bring up something from the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian reality TV star Sadie Robertson Huff recently warned Christians not to take Bible verses intended for marriage and apply them to dating relationships.
