There is no perfect relationship, and we all make mistakes because making blunders is part of being human. However, whenever we make mistakes in our relationships, the beauty of it is our ability to be able to apologize anytime we hurt or offend the people we love. Moreover, we say sorry at times not because we are at fault but because we value and cherish our relationship.

How then can we say we are sorry?

We can apologize anytime we are wrong by following these steps below:

Be sincere

Your apology should flow out from within your heart and you must be sincere with it. It should not show attitude of un-remorsefulness. Check your tone, be specific in your tone but be concise and brief. Moreso, it's better to cool off before apologizing.

Listen to your partner

The best way to say sorry is to have listening heart and ears. Listen to your partner's words and don't interrupt them at the moment they are pouring out their hearts to you.

Admit your mistakes

Even though, it wasn't intentional to hurt your partner, be ready to admit that you are wrong. Take responsibilities for actions and deeds. Doing this boosts morale and it also indicates that you cherish and respect your partner's opinions and perspectives about the whole issue.

Forgive yourself

Knowing the gravity of the pains you caused your loved ones may also inflict pain on your heart, but there's a need to forgive yourself. Forgiving yourself builds your confidence and gives you the ability to change.

Be ready to change

Opt for what you can do to be a better person, and you can also show your partner what you are going to do to prevent occurrences of such mistakes from happening again.

Act now!

To be a better person, put into action all what you've promised to do for your relationship to be a healthy one, and changing your attitudes is a great means of reconnecting back with your partner.
