When thinking about marriage,
pride is something that should never come to mind. There can’t be pride in
marriage it just gets you nowhere. Just think about it, does having pride solve
anything? No, no it doesn’t. When doing the reading for this week I was able to
reflect on my marriage and the relationship I have with my husband. There have
been plenty of times we have got into little arguments and because we are both
stubborn and a little prideful, things just don’t end well. I have
definitely noticed a difference when pride does come into play and when it
doesn’t. When my husband and I are able to talk about our feelings and get
everything out on the table, it immediately eliminates tension and allows us to
forgive and move on.
Growing up I never wanted to hear that I was wrong, or
that I had done something to offend another person, but that all went out the
window when I got married. I am grateful that my husband is able to tell me
when I am doing something he doesn’t like, I am grateful that he helps me
become a better person. That is what marriage is all about; building each other
up instead of tearing each other down.
