A few years ago I led a small group of 10 married men, that met weekly to talk about faith, family, and the meaning of life. One time, when our discussion had gotten focused on conflict at home, I asked the guys, “When was the last time you said to your spouse, “I’m sorry” ? It was 9:00am and we’d all said sorry to our spouses already that day. One guy said, grinning but totally serious, “I’ve told my wife I was sorry 8 times today, including once before I got up from bed!”
