Every relationship has ups and downs undoubtedly. It is however at the low moments that a couple gets to know if they really made the right decision.
These are 5 simple ways of apologising to your partner in order to maintain that healthy and happy relationship.
1.Find out what exactly upset your partner.
This is highly important because the fact is, if you just apologise without really getting to know what hurt or pissed off your partner, you may end up repeating the same mistake.
Realising what upset your partner helps you avoid making similar mistakes and end up sounding like a broken record when apologising.
2. Own up your faults
Before stating that you are sorry, ensure you first admit that yes you were wrong and state in what way you were wrong. Such apologies make a great impact on your partner.
3. Sincerely apologise
Most people go wrong in this sector. When apologising make sure it comes from the bottom of your heart with all sincerity. Don't just apologise for the sake of getting your partner off your back on the issue.
4. Let your partner know that you didn't intentionally hurt them.
When apologising make sure you also state that hurting your partner wasn't your intention. Remember this is someone you are in love with and you probably want to spend the rest of your life with.
5. Replace 'sorry' with other courteous words
This mainly applies for 'small' mistakes. For example if you are late for a date instead of saying, 'sorry i'm late' say 'thank you for your patience'. It just goes to show that you actually appreciate your partner.
Do these five things and you can be assured of a healthy, happy and fun relationship.
