WAYS TO SAY I’M SORRY TO SOMEONE YOU HURT

 

• Use your spouse’s apology language. Dr. Chapman, the author of The Five Love Languages, also wrote another amazing book called The Five Languages of Apology. He discovered that not only do our spouses need to receive love in the “love language” they relate to, but they also need to receive apologies in their “language of apology.”

 

• Write “I’m sorry” all over white wrapping paper. Wrap up a gift and present it to your sweetie.

• Become Shakespeare. Find a book of apology poems such as “This is Just to Say: Poems of Apology and Forgiveness” and insert a poem of your own apologizing for your mistake.

 

• Create an I’m Sorry phrase with scrabble pieces. Leave it on the counter with a flower or yummy treat.

(For a few more similar ideas, take a peek at this Candy Heart Message and The Valentine Date for a little help with your candy gram!)

Snake the trail throughout the house, into different rooms, and ending in the bedroom. Pick different areas of the trail to place apology notes. At the end of the trail, stand waiting for them with two glasses of your favorite bubbly drink or a peace offering gift. Don’t forget to apologize again in person.

Ideas for how to say “I’m Sorry” in a text or letter.

 

• Make an old fashioned morse code into a remorse code sorry note. Use an old ticket stub or find antique looking paper, cut it to resemble the size of a telegram.
