Making it up to your Spouse

Promising your spouse something is a good way to show them you're series about what you plan to do and that it will happen, but what do you do if you find yourself in a situation where you have to go back on your word? I suppose it depends on the situation as to how you'll handle it.

I have found myself in this exact situation recently and the cause of it was beyond my control. We were planning on going to a professional football game, but my computer crashed right before we were supposed to go. I only had enough money to do one and since my computer is the way I make money, the decision was obvious unfortunately. We would have to spend the money on the computer.

I am really upset about this entire situation and have been trying to come up with a way to make it up to him. I have thought about taking him to the next professional football game when his team plays the team close to us, but I found out they won't play them again for the rest of the season, so that's not an option. With that said, my options are to either save the money and pay to go to their home town or wait until next season to go.

Now the first option would be great since it's been a dream of his to go and watch them play in their home stadium, but that would be really pricy and I'm not sure how long it would take to save enough money for airfare, car rental, meals, hotel, and tickets. One thing about it though is the cost won't stop me from checking into it.

The other option I have thought about that may work would be to take him on another trip that wouldn't cost that much, but something I could afford to do right now. I don’t have a lot of options here, but I’ve thought about staying at a local hotel or go camping in the mountains or the lake.

If you find yourself in this situation with your spouse, do your best to make sure he/she understand you didn't do this on purpose and that you will do what you can to make it up to him/her. Then use these tips to make the best of the situation and to find a way to make it up to him/her.
