Jan Hettinga in his book, "Follow Me" (it´s on the reading list in the bookroom) tells how repentance is much more than simply feeling sorry. Imagine if a couple had a fight and they said some awful things to each other. Afterwards they felt bad about it so they said they were sorry.
Now imagine another situation and compare which one would make for a better marriage. The same couple got in the same fight and felt just as bad about it. The difference is that they decided that they have had enough of this and that they wanted to stop hurting each other. So they confessed that they were wrong in what they had said and done during the fight and they told each other that they repent, or give up that way of dealing with their problems. Moreover, they want the other person´s help to overcome these problems.
