Believe it or not - we are not always this "happy!" We definitely have our times when we are miles apart- not only physically but emotionally and relationally. And those times, if not addressed quickly and purposefully - will pull folks apart.
So what ARE the two most important words for your marriage????
"I do?"
"Your fault?"
"You're right?"
"Let's eat?"
All kidding aside - I have found that the two most important words in our marriage are - "I'm sorry"
* I'm sorry that we are fighting. Let's work on this. I want us to be ok before we go any further.
* I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings. Let's talk this out.
* I'm sorry you're having a hard day - Let's hug :)
Now pay attention here - EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE THAT "IT" IS ALL YOUR PARTNERS' FAULT - SAY, "I'm sorry...."
Truly - humble yourself -- You ARE sorry that things are not right between you. You are sorry that there is a rift. You ARE sorry if you misrepresented yourself. You ARE sorry that this had to happen.
I have found that when that "wall" comes between our precious relationship - that the best way to start pulling those bricks down is with those 2 words - "I'm sorry......"
Those words magically and mystically open up communication - dispel misunderstandings - create an atmosphere of love and acceptance....
And - the more quickly one of you says them -- with the intent of growing closer and tighter and stronger --- the more quickly you will see the benefits!
Love to you all - especially Kurt, Stephanie, Jana, Adam, Scott, Kim, Mark and Courtney
And absolutely Love to my husbud, Paul! <3 nbsp="" p="">
