Maybe you were harsh with your words. Maybe all of the wedding planning got you and you blew up. Or maybe you’re feeling stressed because of work. Whatever the reason is, we all say and do stupid things that hurt our partner. While it’s important to give a formal apology in person when you’ve messed up, it’s also good to follow up with a phone call or text to remind your fiancé how sorry you really are. Sending an “I’m sorry” text shows that you’re trying to rebuild trust and repair your relationship.
Now these texts are to help inspire a more in depth conversation and please make them personal… make them your own:
I am sorry for arguing with you. I want us to be a team. Please forgive me, babe.
-
I’m sorry for avoiding our issues. I’m sorry for not showing up and working on our marriage, especially when you’ve needed me. I’m sorry for neglecting your feelings.

I want you to know that I love you and take responsibility for the words I said. I promise I’ll work on thinking before I speak.

You need to know that I was a fool. I allowed my pride to get the best of me. I forgot that you are on my side. That you are my best friend. I love you so much.
