Pride

This is a hard topic for me to talk about because I really haven’t seen how pride can effect marriage. My parents seem to have the best marriage in my eyes. And seeing that I am not married I can only read about what kinds of things pride can do in a marriage.  Somethings that my dad does to avoid pride in a marriage is that he always puts my mom first. He is the must unselfish guy I know. Not only does he put my mom first, he puts others first as well. My dad does so much for my family and, in my eyes, deserves to be put first and has every right to out himself first but he doesn’t. 

My mom on the other hand is also the same as my dad. She is the most caring person I know and is a prime example on putting others before herself. She understands the work that my dad does for the family and she does everything in her power to help. 

Pride can easily destroy a family. Pride is the opposite of love and easily and quickly gets ride of it as well. I can only think about what would happen if my dad decided to stop what he was doing and started doing what he wanted to do. I know that my family wouldn’t last long. It would be so easy for my dad to make up any excuse to just walk away.
