My wife and I recently listened to your podcast with host Terry Real. We enjoyed the podcast, even with a few "I told you so" moments. In relation to resolving a marital battle, Terry recommended that the husband, "the man," say, "You're upset. I am sorry I hurt you. What can I do to help you?" My wife had two issues with this. First, she felt this was condescending. Second, she believes it lacked an explanation of what happens when the man does this but doesn't follow through the next time. She believes the man should say, "You're upset. I am sorry I hurt you. What can I do to help myself?" What are your thoughts on this?

My wife and I listened to your podcast with Terry Real. We enjoyed it and had a few "I told you so" moments. However, we had a major issue with what was said when there was an argument. The husband, the man in this case, was told to say, "You're upset. I'm sorry. What can I do for you?" My wife had two issues with this approach. First, it felt condescending. Second, what happens if this is said but lacks follow-through, and the issue happens again? Is it a free pass? By the way, I thought it was spot on, but I see her point.
