Any guesses as to which your top apology language is? Mine is “expression of regret.” My dear husband is highly aware that when he has “committed an offense” against me, what I need in order to move toward restoration is to hear and see the emotional impact the situation has had on him. And his is “accepting responsibility.” He experiences reconnection between us when I am able to put on my big girl pants and say I was wrong … no excuses. Now, do those come easily to either of us? I wish I could say yes, but they don’t. We didn’t even really learn how important they were to each of us, or how to express them effectively, until the more recent years of our marriage. We certainly could have used this information in the early years! That is exactly why I’m so passionate about sharing these tips and insights with you all. So, if you feel like you’re often struggling to heal hurts in your relationship, maybe it’s time to learn your apology languages. A quick quiz is available at 5lovelanguages.com. You can also find more info in the book “When Sorry Isn’t Enough.” And don’t forget that counselors are love and apology language translators ready to help you gain new insight into your relationships. N OTE: This article is directed toward those in generally healthy relationships. If your relationship is unhealthy (abusive, manipulative, etc.) please seek professional support for yourself first, and address the dynamics of the relationship if or when it is deemed appropriate and safe.
