4 WAYS PRIDE WILL DESTROY YOUR RELATIONSHIP

in #esteem5 years ago

Pride will sink a Relationship/Marriage faster than APC and PDP have sunk our Nigerian Economy.

Proud Wives can't submit

Proud Husbands can't Love...

How Pride will destroy that Relationship/Marriage

(1) Refusal to Apologize / First to apologize syndrome
"He will come and apologize first, shey later in the evening he will want to do, we'll see."

"She will come and apologize first, am I not her Husband, we'll see"

Adults be waiting for first to apologize like children, keeping malice and grudges, because of Pride,
"If I apologize first I have let myself down" seriously? for your own spouse?

A quarrel that could have easily been resolved drags on for days, escalating and snowballing into something serious and even leading to a divorce or break up.

(2) COMPETITION
Proud people are highly competitive people.
They always want to be the centre of attraction, they'll show off at every given opportunity just to feed their pride and ego,

once a couple start to compete against each other, what is remaining?

(3) NO COMPROMISE
Ask any Married couple around you, Great Marriages are full of compromise,

You win some you lose some.
Proud people don't like to lose, even when they do lose, they makes sure everyone else loses.

Pride will prevent you from allowing your spouses decision to stand even when you know it is the wisest decision.

Pride will not allow you accept defeat, you will seek to win every argument, and go to unthinkable lengths to do so, hurting your spouse and your relationship/marriage in the process

Pride will not allow you see that you're wrong.

You will only seek your way, see your suggestion as the best, and my dear, no body in their right senses will waste time in a Relationship with you when you are like that.

(4) I'M BETTER THAN THEM
Proud People think they are better than everyone else.
You will believe that your spouse is lucky to have you that you are doing them a favor for dating or marrying them,

"are we mates? (probably due to age difference, or financial, social, career advantages)"
Or
"don't you know you are lucky to have me"
and they aren't saying this in a romantic, teasing funny way, they actually mean it in a condescending way.

You tell me such a word, Relationship oti close. Is not by force
Let me jejely go to the people that I'm their mate abeg.

Even God resists the proud, so? Why are your prouding?
Run from Proud People, so God will not be your resistor-in-law
Run from Pride
Pride will not do you any good in this life.

Why the Pride?
We are all nothing but Pencils in the hand of the Creator.
