My mother once told me when I was a kid that "Love is never having to say your sorry." I think she believed it, too, even though it did come from a sappy movie from the late 60's or early 70's or something. I never heard her once apologize to my dad.

Love is complete acceptance.

The movie was Love Story. A classic. I don't agree with the line though. I understand the idea, but I don't think it's fair to limit yourself that way.

"I'm sorry I crashed the car honey"

"That's ok darling. I know it was an accident"

"Yes, but I'm still sorry because it's going to be an inconvienience to us till it gets fixed"

"Well I'm sure it will be. You don't have to be sorry, but I'm glad you appreciate how this will put me out"

I think there's different reasons to say you're sorry. It doesn't have to be a concilliatory thing. It can simply be an acknowledgement of anothers patience.
