I think it should be the husband,he should be more matured than the wife and so , he should be able to allow unity to prevail in the family.

It does not matter who does it first. The most important thing is for the person at fault to realise his/her mistake and take a bold step of tending appologies first. This show a sign of humility and responsibility. Then the offended now reciprocate the gesture.

Its just the husband or just the wife to say sorry when there is a fight between couples. I think the one who is at fault should ask for forgiveness first. The one who hurt the partner more should be the first one. I think both husband and wife should also be sensitive enough to know if who is at fault. If you think you are the one at fault and without you saying and doing the things you said and did ..then there will be no fight after all...then you should be the one to say sorry or forgiveness first.

Stubborness in marriage don,t really get you any place..I have just walked up to my husband and gave him a hug after an argument and it like he will say ,Im sorry..I don,t think it has to be just the husbands place though..If your husband has been a real jerk ,then I would say yes,but just a argument,I don,t think it matters.I hate to fight and I am quick to get it resolved first..why be miserable because you are just sitting there waiting for him to go first..I think the husband is usually feeling as bad s you..I might add however your husand needs to do his share of Im sorry,s too,as well as the wife.
