I know satan will use pride to tear apart a marriage I know men and women can be very prideful if they have not been sealed with the Holy Ghost to lead and guide them into peace and love.Woman must love respect their husband and husbands must love and respect their wives. One example from our readings was a husband who was going to but a car but did not because his wife wanted him to have a mechanic check it out first. The man selling the car who was divorced could not understand why the man buying the car would consult his wife.Marriage is a partnership that does not include prideful spirits who only think about themselves.Both spouses should keep their hearts open and serve each other like they are serving Christ because they are.We all struggle with pride in life! Sadly, many of us do not realize the potential that waits for us if we just let go of our pride and move forward in God's plan. In fact, the Bible goes so far as to warn us that God hates the sin of pride and will discipline the proud! Let us not see ourselves as "wise in our own eyes" but let us become humble and willing to learn from God and others.
Isaiah 23:9 The LORD Almighty planned it, to bring down her pride in all her splendor and to humble all who are renowned on the earth.
James 4:6   But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
Proverbs 8:13 fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. 
Proverbs 11:2  When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
