One of the ways pride affects your marriage—it blinds you to you.

Couples often battle over who’s to blame for the tension in their marriage. Ironically, both he and she want to close the gap in their relationship but pride is insidious and it drives people to conquer their spouse and blame them. At least it’s not my fault we brag to ourselves. But as is the case with all sin, the momentary satisfaction is fleeting. Afterwards you realize you’re all alone and the victory was self-defeating. Set aside your pride and deal with the person in the mirror.
