Understanding the Manifestations of Pride in the Home
If pride has shown up in your family, the key to resolution rests in the basic gospel principles of love, understanding, and mutual respect
. If your spouse is prideful, help them understand how important they are to you and the rest of the family. While they may deserve time to themselves, you need them and want them closer. If you see the symptoms of pride in yourself, think about how the other person feels. Think about their situation in life; is it that much easier than your own? Are you carrying the bulk of the burdens in the family? No matter who you are, the answer is no; so when was the last time you expressed your appreciation for them? Are they not also dealing with the same personal issues you deal with and just want someone to appreciate them? Understanding and putting the needs of your spouse first will lead to a greater humility and more self-worth. A family cannot function without every member. You and your spouse are desperately needed! So reach out to your spouse tonight and tell them so.
