1. I’m sorry; Please forgive me.
It amazes me how powerful these five words can be, and yet, we are often reluctant about saying them to our spouse at times. Whether we are trying to prove that we are right or we think our spouse should be able to read our minds, it’s wrong. A heartfelt apology goes a long way in healing relationships. When we make a mistake (which we all do), we need to be quick to say we’re sorry and seek forgiveness. When we do this simple act, we humble ourselves before our spouse and soften his or her heart towards us. The act of offering a sincere apology frees us from the guilt and shame that can often take hold in our hearts and minds. It clears the air and keeps respect and honesty at the forefront of our marriages.
