Sorry and Forgiveness is Love
Nov 9th, 2007 by Paul
One of the hardest things for most men to say is “I’m sorry”, “I was wrong” or asking for forgiveness. A number of men would rather face mortal danger than to say those simple little words.
Apologizing and asking to be forgiven is as powerful as the words I love you. Each one brings closeness and caring love to your wife. While on the opposite end of the scale, unforgiveness, resentment and bitterness can be very destructive to a marriage.
The myth that surrounds most men today about saying they are sorry is that they will appear weak. On the contrary when a man apologizes to his wife he shows tremendous strength and she gives him the respect which follows those words of forgiveness. Loving and being devoted then become by products leading to an intimate relationship of oneness.
This is one of the most difficult changes a man will have to learn when getting married because he is no longer watching out for himself but he is now taking care of a precious flower. Without the gentle care and love to nourish the flower it will quickly start to wilt, petals will fall, fragrance fades and eventually it dries up and dies.
As a caring father it also applies to your children. Let them see an example of emotional strength by apologizing to them as well. Like you wife they are also in the flower bed as buds waiting to blossom.
