I am some one who does not have a problem with admitting by faults and working to do better. But my wife of 21 years seems to be stuck on not accepting apologies. Need some insight here!

Maybe when your wife needs her angel feathers grooming you could ask for her forgiveness again and again and again.Now reality,Tell her to grow up and stop sulking making your life a misery and her's. Suggest that while she refuses to be happy or let you be happy, that you will go and make your own happiness because she obviously wants to wallow.Life is too short for petty misery, we have too many interesting adventures to experience in life, and hopefully with happy warm hearted people,preferably your spouse. We need to have the balls to admit it when they are wrong,try and make things right, accept apologies and move on, and repeat it all again the next day, in some cases.Unless it is simply because she is a woman (we are not always right but we are never wrong)Lol .

 Not knowing what exactly you're apologizing for makes it difficult to give you an insightful answer. As has been pointed out ramming and repeating 'I'm sorry' 'I SAID I was sorry!' down her throat won't accomplish much.

Funny :) Are you trying to force the apologizes down her throat?? Trying to convince her how genuine you are about accepting your faults?? If the answer is yes...then you have already lost. :)))
Women are not looking for words. Saying sorry is all good and dandy...but your actions is where it matters most.
If you say sorry, and keep doing the same thing...what is the point? Just apologize and try NOT to do the same things over and over again. :)

 If it's repetitive behaviour or problems- words are cheap and apologies taken with a pinch of salt. Actions are far more forgiving. If you feel as though you have been treated unjust then you need to stand up for yourself and let her know. It's a two way street
