"I've been married to my beautiful bride for seventy-three years. She is the kindest, most generous person I've ever known. Even so, she has lost her temper with me more times than I can count. She once threw a pot at my head. I have the scar to prove she has excellent aim." He pointed to the faded line just above his left eyebrow. "If I was able to forgive her for hurting me when she was frustrated with me, what makes you think that your husband will not do the same for something you did when you were confused and frightened and your mind manipulated by someone who wanted to hurt you?"
