I loved the talk by President Benson. I loved this part of the talk...When pride has a hold on our hearts, we lose our independence of the world and deliver our freedoms to the bondage of men’s judgment. The world shouts louder than the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. The reasoning of men overrides the revelations of God, and the proud let go of the iron rod. (See 1 Ne. 8:19–28; 1 Ne. 11:25; 1 Ne. 15:23–24.)
I think this is so TRUE! So many times not just in marriage we use this as an excuse not realizing that WE have pride and can't let go of our bad thoughts and feelings. If we get rid of pride, we are able to have the spirit with us and we can be better followers of Christ, that actually helps in all of our relationships.
The only way to make our marriage strong is for us to willing to be open and love without guile. Getting rid of pride is a huge part of that!
