The lost art of apologizing to your wife
Had it out with my wife last week. I was wrong, plain and simple. But instead of just saying sorry in passing, I sat her down, looked her in the eye, and told her exactly what I was wrong about and what I'm gonna do different. No excuses, no qualifying statements. She deserved that. Too many men won't do this. Your woman deserves a man who owns his mistakes and makes it right. That's not weakness, that's integrity.
Real talk, apologizing properly is actually an advanced dad skill. Your wife definitely noticed the effort. That's the stuff relationships are built on.
