How to use forge in a sentence?

1. Andrew Schneider:

   What are man and woman if not members of two very different and warring tribes Yet decade after decade, century after century, they attempt in marriage to reconcile and forge a union. Why I don't know. Biological imperative Divine law Or just a desire to connect to that mysterious other In any case, it's always struck me as a hopeful thing.

2. Margaret Thatcher:

   In the coming weeks I will set out (how) to take our economy through this period of uncertainty, to get the economy growing strongly across all parts, to deal with Britain's long-standing productivity problem, to create more well-paid jobs, to negotiate the best terms for Britain's departure from the EU and to forge a new role for ourselves in the world.

3. Jeff Hensley:

VETERANS ORGANIZATION HELPING WAR HEROES FORGE SPECIAL BONDS That means spouses and children can also take advantage of the free services, something clients say the VA is not really setup to do.

5. Jeb Bush:

   I don't think it's going to happen. I think we ought to focus just as I said on trying to forge consensus so we can move forward, the courts have decided traditional marriage still is a hugely important element of a just, loving society and we should respect people that have long-term loving relationships and allow people to act on their conscience.
