As I studied about counseling as spouses and couples, "beware of pride" was stuck in my head. Really the majority of stubbornness, and inability to see eye to eye comes from this. A prideful heart can be difficult to overcome, but not impossible.
Just as the stories in the Book of Mormon explain that the pride of the peoples hearts destroyed them, it is similar within a marriage. Those who cannot speak, council, and UNDERSTAND each other are bound to struggle. An open mind is essential within a relationship.
"Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal life." (Alma 5:28)
I have struggled with this topic at times, as I am sure most people have. Sometimes it can be hard to see another persons point of view, especially when things aren't going your way. Please, council together, speak together, pray together, and remember what is so important, and why you are doing what you are. These things will help overcome any obstacle placed in your path.
