Have you ever heard the expression, "Love is never having to say
you're sorry?"
Sometimes I wonder how such utterly ridiculous expressions become commonly
accepted. If you're close to someone, you're going to step on their toes
occasionally. And when you hurt someone, ESPECIALLY YOUR SPOUSE, it's important
to say, "I'm sorry."
Not only is it important to say "I'm sorry," but it's important
to say it well.
Usually the words alone are not enough. You have to get inside your spouse's
heart, feel their pain, and in order for them to forgive you, they have to feel
COMPLETELY understood. Otherwise, you might say, "I'm sorry," and
your spouse might say, "It's okay," but nothing will change. You
could be stuck in that hurt for years.
I wish for you and your spouse that you SUCCESSFULLY move through your
past hurt and that "I'm sorry" restores your relationship the way
those 2 magic words have the power to do.
