Any couple that has been in a committed relationship knows that disagreements are bound to happen. Sometimes, small disagreements escalate into big fights. When both parties reach an impasse or exhaust themselves with holding on to their position, a cold war can ensue. Generally, at some point, one party or the other would like to attempt an effort to make amends, but approaching an angry or wounded mate is hard to do.

Over the years I have spoken to dozens of couples who have confided to me that though they felt awkward, uncomfortable and downright uncertain as to how to get the, "I want to make up with you" ball rolling, they were eager to find appropriate ways to do so.
