Apologize when necessary from "summary" of How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids by Jancee Dunn
When you find yourself in the midst of a heated argument with your spouse, it can be easy to get caught up in the moment and say things you don't mean. But it's important to remember that sometimes, you need to take a step back and consider whether or not you owe your partner an apology. Apologizing when necessary doesn't mean constantly saying sorry for every little thing. It means recognizing when you've crossed a line or hurt your partner in some way, and taking responsibility for your actions. It's about showing empathy and understanding towards your spouse, even when you're in the middle of a disagreement. Apologizing can be difficult, especially when you feel like you're in the right. But sometimes, swallowing your pride and saying sorry can go a long way towards repairing your relationship. It shows your partner that you value their feelings and that you're willing to admit when you're wrong. By apologizing when necessary, you're not only taking steps to mend any hurt feelings, but you're also setting a positive example for your children. They learn from watching how you and your partner interact, and showing them that it's important to take responsibility for your actions can help them develop strong relationships in the future. So the next time you find yourself in a situation where an apology is warranted, take a deep breath, put your ego aside, and say sorry. It may be difficult in the moment, but in the long run, it can make a world of difference in your marriage.
