Hi Sweetheart,
I’m sorry about getting into an argument about putting up the Christmas lights. I guess that sometimes I feel like you push me too hard when you want something. I realize that I was wrong, and I am apologizing for being such a hard-headed guy. All I want is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy the holiday season. Nothing brightens the Christmas spirit like Christmas lights!
I took the time to hang the lights for you today and now am off to the hockey rink. Again, I am very sorry for the way I acted yesterday.
I’ll be home later.
Love you……

Hi Honey,
Thank you for that heart-felt apology. I don’t often get an apology from you, and I truly appreciate it.
I, too, felt bad about our argument and want to apologize. I realize that I can sometimes be a little pushy.
I will try to respect your feelings from now on.
Thank you for taking the time to hang the Christmas lights for me. It really means a lot.
In the spirit of love and forgiveness, I washed your truck for you, and now I am off to the mall.
I love you too!
