Who should say 'Am sorry' first during a misunderstanding in marriage?

The power of saying am sorry during a misunderstanding with your spouse or in any relationship cannot be undermined. Saying you are sorry to your spouse doesn't express weakness but maturity and ability to embrace peace. It gives room for more clarity about the source of an argument and create more understanding between you and your partner.

Marriage is a legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a woman, that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their offspring (if any).

Saying am sorry has more effect than it sounds, if you offend your partner and you are quick to say sorry, there is tendency that such offence will fade away as quick as possible. Apology heals wound and gives room for a healthy relationship.

Meanwhile, it doesn't matter who say sorry as long as the sorry maintains it originality. I mean the sorry should be intended and not just for saying sake. It is a very simple thing for some people to say sorry just to make peace at a particular moment without really serious about it, this act can be more hurtful if other partner gets to know.

Finally, it is very important to learn and know how to say sorry with sincerity. It shows how well you can sustain your relationship. A long and lasting marriage depends on how well couples can accommodate each other.
