- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thank you for writing such an insightful book. My husband and I have benefitted greatly, in fact, I do believe it may have saved our marriage. The words of advice and counsel were written clearly and forthrightly, bringing the point home with clear definition and understanding. This book is a gift for all who read it and respond wholeheartedly to its heartfelt words. Thank you again!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s honestly not what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be what to do when you can’t seem to forgive someone even though they’ve apologized, or something like that.
Instead, it was about how to apologize effectively, and how to move forward after the apology and forgiveness. It was very helpful! It helped me understand that my spouse may have been sincere in their apology to me over a grave violation, even though it didn’t seem like they were to me. In reality, they were most likely were not speaking my “apology language”.1 person found this helpful
