Building Healthy Families: With apologies to the 1970’s movie Love Story, love means you do occasionally have to say you’re sorry! Be willing to accept your own mistakes, recognize and admit it when you have hurt someone, and apologize. Your children will learn how to do this in their own lives (or not) by watching the example you set. “Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.” (James 5:16). Lutheran Family Service
