Love means you never have to say you're sorry?

I agree with you that even the greatest love needs apologies. Every relationship has arguments. Which means EVERY relationship needs apologies. Face to face apologies. Not text message or email apologies. Real grown up, adult, face to face apologies, followed by repetitive I love yous......

I feel not saying sorry in love is somehow taking your love for granted. In love if it is equal relationship sorry can heal lots of wounds which we give sometimes unknowingly. It is better to say sorry as taking someone for granted is not a done thing even in love.

i do agree with you,i do believe in saying sorry whenever i am wrrong.there are bound to be misunderstanding in any relationship and one should learn to compromise but that doesnot mean people can take us for granted.

I have said it to hubby but I dont remeber him ever saying it to me.
Not in words any how.
And during courtship day. I never did for what he seen is what he got.

Hi Zandi,
That was well documented but 'Love means you never have to say you're sorry' is just an analogy of what love can do to us human. When we love someone, to give forgiveness is so easy that asking sorry seems unnecessary anymore.

I always thought that that was the most stupid phrase I ever heard. My understanding is that love is the acceptance of I'm sorry with no other explanation needed. It means you are accepted faults and all and allowed to make mistakes.

I've never understood the saying either!
If you can't apologise to a loved one, you aren't going to apologise to others and sometimes that one little word can heal even deep 'mental' wounds!

when we make a mistake, and realise that we were wrong then we say sorry. sorry indirectly means that we would not make that mistake again. intially when we are trying to get close to a person we take care care of each and every word and action but when things take a positive angle we forget to say sorry and thank you. these are very important words to keep a relationship on track. one cannot take love for granted.

Well thats not, true in fact I think that if you truly love someone and care about there feelings you will not be afraid to admit when your wrong about something, and apologise, if you make a mistake, and I think its the mature thing to do. and who ever said that love means never having to say your sorry had the wrong idea. lol any way wasn't that a quote from a film called a love story.

Well, the more in love you are, the more you need to say you're sorry whenever you had did something wrong. My husband and me had been practising this since we get to know each other. Whenever anyone of us had done anything wrong or even a slight arguement, in the end, we will always apologize to each other. Eventhough sometimes apologize may seems the hardest word to say, but it is the strongest weapon in healing your wounded relationship.
