Why "I'm Sorry" Isn't Enough in Relationships | Episode 304
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Everything in life requires repair: homes, cars, computers, and most importantly, relationships. When we don’t appropriately repair our relationships from a rupture, big or small, then those hurts begin to pile up and create resentment.
At our marriage intensives, we often help couples clean up accumulated hurt that never got repaired simply because they didn’t have the tools to do so.
This is an important skill not only for relationships with a romantic partner, but also with our children and in friendships.
True repair goes beyond saying “I’m sorry,” and in this conversation, we share practical ways to approach conflict and hurts.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- What happens when you allow hurts to accumulate
- How justifying actions minimizes the other person’s feelings
- The steps to take in order to fully clean up hurts
- And more!
