5 Smart Ways To Apologize To Your Spouse
Sometimes we let our thoughts and emotions dominate us. When we get upset and angry, we let those emotions run out and we end up affecting the people we love the most, especially our spouse. If you have offended your spouse, do not worry. You can make up with the below mentioned ways.
1. Write
Words are a great way to demonstrate how much you care. Write a letter to your spouse asking for forgiveness. Be willing to open your heart and share your emotions with him. Share the frustrations and sorrows that may be in your heart.
Another simple way to apologize to your spouse is to write a list with all the reasons for you to love him. Start or end the list asking for forgiveness and tell him why you did what you did. Along the list, share all the reasons for your heart to start speeding up when it comes in, and how much you love getting caught with it on the couch.
This type of list will not only make you happy, but it is also a great way to strengthen your marriage and remind them why you fell in love with each other in the beginning.
2. Physical contact
Sometimes it only takes a hug, holding hands or standing together on the couch to show that you are really sorry for what you did. Physical contact is something powerful. Think about the times you had a bad day. A hug or a kiss did not change everything? Think about when an infant or toddler is upset, scared or sad. Does not the embrace of a loving parent help to calm him down? Be willing to approach your spouse when you have done something wrong. Ask for forgiveness, expose your feelings, and then give her a hug, a kiss, or just put her hand on your knee. There is power in touch.
3. Use candy or candy.
If your spouse likes to get gifts, give him something meaningful or smart to apologize for. It can be anything from your favorite delicacies to jewelry. However, I do not think every time you make a mistake, you can “bribe” it to “get away” from the mistake. After a while, the gifts begin to lose their meaning.
4. Plan a time alone
Find a nanny, plan a romantic dinner, and show your spouse that you want to spend more time with him. Before the moment alone begins, ask forgiveness and tell him that you are sorry. So you can enjoy some time together and really work to strengthen the relationship.
5. Use your own talents
Each has its own talents. Use yours to say you love him. If you get the hang of quotes, make a treat and attach a quote. If you have a talent for music, write or sing a song by saying how much it means to you. Think about your special talents and how you can use these gifts to improve your relationship with your spouse.
We all make mistakes. Some are far greater than others, and some may offend and hurt others, especially our spouse. When you make these mistakes, be willing to say “sorry” and fix things.
