Most of us have been taught that saying "I'm sorry" is the key to repairing conflict. But what if those two words are actually keeping your marriage stuck?


In this episode, I'm sharing why I've started encouraging many of my coaching clients to stop saying "I'm sorry" during conflict, at least for a while. We unpack why apologies often lose their meaning, what your spouse is actually looking for after they've been hurt, and the simple shift that leads to deeper trust, connection, and lasting change.


Tune in to discover:


• Why "I'm sorry" often isn't enough to repair conflict

• The reasons apologies stop working in marriage

• What your spouse actually needs after they've been hurt

• How validation creates trust and emotional safety

• A simple communication shift that transforms difficult conversations
