My wife and I recently listened to your podcast with host Terry Real. We enjoyed the podcast and even had 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 the 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?
