Why Your Spouse Doesn't Believe Your Apologies Anymore
There's a difference between "I'm sorry I got caught" and "I'm sorry I hurt you!" Most apologies focus on OUR discomfort - we feel bad because there's tension, our spouse ...is upset, life is harder now! But this self-focused sorrow doesn't lead to change. 2 Corinthians 7:10 says "godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation!" Godly sorrow grieves that we've wounded someone precious to God and rebelled against His design for love! Stop apologizing for getting caught and start grieving for causing pain!
