Pride and Marriage!
According to research, besides extramarital affairs and poor communication, another key reason marriages breakdown is the lack of growth in critical aspects of life, such as emotional, social, psychological, etc. The only way to enjoy marital progress and romance is through change and nobody can change without committing him/herself to continuous growth.
One major aspect we all must grow in as people is in our mindset and paradigm of marriage. Sometimes, when you hear couples talk about their perspective of what they think a man or woman wants in a marriage, who a man/woman is, then you will begin to understand the source of their marital problems. A bigger challenge is when people read an article, listen to a sermon or attend a seminar on how to make their marriage better, only to end up FANTASISING on how their marriages can be better only if their spouses would take on the principles.
Pride is when you entertain the thought that you are exempt from growth because you are better than your spouse. Pride is when you listen to a sermon or read an article not because you want to grow, but to send it to your spouse. Certainly, pride goes before marital failure.
