The hardest part about being in a relationship is knowing how to swallow your pride and make up.  With his upcoming nuptials to Vanessa Minnillo, Nick Lachey told Access Hollywood his fool-proof strategy for apologizing to his future wifey when he messes up.  For Lachey, this is an easy one.  He gives her a taste of his velvety voice.  “That’s my trump card.  Whenever I screw up and I need to get back to her good graces, I sing. So far it’s worked,” he said.
What are some creative ways to apologize to your partner?
Cupid’s Advice:
Saying the words “I’m sorry” can be even harder than saying “I love you” in some cases.  Here are some sure-fire ways to make your apologies go smoothly:
1. Send your apology: When you make a big display of your amends, it shows thought and sincerity.  For example, send a singing telegram.  A small gift and a charming note can go a long way when you’ve messed up.
2. Show the world you’re sorry: The internet is a powerful way to have your message heard today. Â Use it to your advantage by making an apology video and posting it on the web for everyone to see. Â This will let your partner know that you’re aware of your mistake, and you want the world to know.
3. Cook: When your partner comes home, greet him or her with a nice meal set at a romantic table. Â Calmly state your apology without stirring up another fight. Â Admitting you were wrong and taking the extra time to do something special will surely ease the tension and get your relationship back on track.
