Forgiveness is one of our basic human needs because we all are imperfect beings and we need to be forgiven by those we've hurt and offended and we also need to freely give away that forgiveness to those that hurt and offend us. Learning to forgive will make you a very successful matchmaker for your own love life. If you can learn to forgive others and to not become easily offended, then you are a good matchmaker who knows what is the major glue that holds relationships together…unconditional love and this type of deep love is based upon forgiveness, freely given and freely received.

When you don't forgive your partner when he or she hurts you or offends you, then you will be falling head first into a trap where you won't be able to get out of because bitterness will ensnare you and hold you captive. Unless you can be a successful matchmaker and let go of that bitterness and forgive your partner, you won't see success. We all make mistakes and no one is perfect, so what gives us the right to judge our partner when he or she offends us or hurts us? The pain gives us a right; that's true, but we can carry that pain and anger only too far, if we want to be a successful matchmaker in our relationship. We have a right to that pain and anger and it is good to feel those emotions when we have been hurt and offended; however, if we hold onto those emotions for far too long, we become a failure as a matchmaker because we'll lose ourselves to bitterness and unresolved anger and we'll lose our partner because we won't truly be able to forgive him or her and even if you stay together in the relationship, you will always be resentful towards your partner and the infamous offense. Forgiveness is key towards all of your success as a matchmaker and finding a love in your mature dating relationships.

When we can finally let go of that burden of bitterness and can forgive our partner for that offense that was committed, we will be free to love again and live in harmony and move forward and your efforts as a matchmaker will not be in vain. You need to think about the situation this way; if you did something wrong (and you most certainly will as we all do), wouldn't you want your partner to offer you the same unconditional love and forgiveness that you were finally able to offer to your partner when he or she offended you? What would you do and how would you react if your partner did not offer you that same unconditional love and forgiveness? If you are acting like a matchmaker, you will readily admit your mistake and ask for that forgiveness and then allow your partner to grieve over his or her pain from the offense and wait for your partner to be ready to forgive you and love you again unconditionally. The key to success as a matchmaker in your romantic relationships is forgiveness and unconditional love.
