Paul Carrington explains in this video that humility in a marriage involves a willingness to hear and to be corrected. You are examining yourself, being convicted by passages in Scripture, and realizing how you have sinned against your spouse. This kind of person wants more of God. On the other hand, pride leads to contention.

And so what it looks like, I think, in a marriage or in any other area of life is a humility, first of all, a willingness to hear, a willingness to be corrected, and if you have not been corrected, you're examining yourself and you can actually say, you know, I didn't speak to my wife rightly there, I didn't speak to my husband rightly there, I shouldn't have said that or done that, or you fill in the blank. It really is a constant communion with God and when you commune with God, you read his word, you're gonna have conviction. You're gonna have areas that you read in the Word of God that say, woe is me, I'm I'm guilty of what I just read about. I haven't been forgiving in this particular area. Lord, please help me to be forgiving.

It looks like someone who just wants more and more of God and will not allow pride, which is usually the reason why we don't repent, to come in between us. Proverbs says that only by pride do we have contention. And I believe that. I've seen that in my own life. I've seen that in my own marriage.

I've seen that in my relationships with other people or even with my own children. And pride is that dragon that we need to do battle with on a daily basis. And repentance is the weapon that we can wield to destroy the works of the devil as it pertains to pride. You
