The 5 Apology Languages Quotes

“Here is a useful phrase to help you jump back into an issue: “I’d like to circle back to (name the issue). I realize that I didn’t say (or do) things the right way. I apologize for that.” This method brings you back to the topic and it shows your intent to be open and nondefensive.”

“If I give my wife twenty minutes of quality time, I have given her twenty minutes of my life, and she has done the same for me. It is a powerful emotional communicator of love.”

“Apologies grow out of an awareness that my words or behavior has violated the trust of others or has offended them in some way. When these offenses go unacknowledged, the relationship is fractured. I live with a sense of guilt or a smug self-righteousness while the offended party lives with hurt, disappointment, and/or anger. We both know that our relationship has suffered from the offense. If neither of us extends the olive branch, the quality of our relationship will continue to diminish.”
