Regardless of what sex you are, pride is something everyone should learn to control. Especially if it jeopardizes your relationship with the person you love. This could be your girlfriend/boyfriend, family, or even friends.

Pride is what tear relationships apart and it is wise for a person to realize that one must suppress their pride in order for their relationship to take the next level or for it to not fall apart.

Love > Money.
Love might carry a different meaning for everyone, and it is crucial to respect their definition, but can we all agree that real love can't be bought with money? (If love can be bought with money, then what a superficial and sad world it'll be?). So, this being said, don't let money come in the way of your love. In other words, lose your greed of money and worldly possessions. I'm not saying to take this to the extreme and spend all your money on your lover, but you shouldn't place a value in love.

I understand that this world is a world that runs on money, and that money can in fact take a heart away from a person, but that itself is pride. A pride to gain more wealth, or to succeed.

Success is necessary even to support your family in the future, but it is not everything. Learn to follow your heart more than what the world might tell you. Remember that you only live once. Would you want to have lived a life chasing wealth, health, and prosperity or have lived a life doing all you could with your loved ones?

Learn to accept.
No body in this world is perfect. Even the person you love has flaws and weaknesses. It is your duty not only to accept that person's flaws but to embrace it as your own. Marriage is a combining of two souls into one (Pride and selfishness destroys marriages). What your spouse or partner lacks, you need to help improve. This does not mean getting frustrated or yelling at them for failing. Show that person you love them even if you know that they are imperfect.

Spend some time together in counseling or read books together to fix the problems you might be having in your relationship or marriage. This might even form a stronger bond between you two instead of hurting it.

Spouse, family, self, then business.
Your spouse, family and even self should come before your job.
Spend time with your wife/husband, family and kids. Spend time off to yourself to recharge your batteries and to enjoy nature and life. You need to learn to love yourself as well.
Everyone knows that their job secures their family of a home and food, so it is definitely important. But remember to keep a balance!

A BALANCE!
If you're spending too much time and energy on the job and have no energy left for your spouse or kids, then it's only a matter of time when your marriage or relationship start to take a turn in a direction that you won't like.
Spend some time to figure out how you can balance things in your life. You know your life and situation better than anyone else in this world.

Learn to say "sorry".
If you can't apologize for something you should apologize for, then you can't apologize just for the sake of avoiding drama. Drama, is like a bucket of cold water to a burning heart. If you have a burning love for someone but get into an argument or a fight over a small matter, that love may grow cold. Learn to be the better person and apologize for the sake of the relationship.
BUT, this does not mean to be whipped! If you are certain that the partner is not apologizing because of their pride, then you must confront them. A good marriage or relationship is a well-balanced relationship. Communication is crucial!!!
If you love a person, but your partner is not showing you the same love, something is not balanced in that relationship. Strive for a balance.

Love builds up.
Don't expect that the honeymoon love is going to be your fuel to your relationship. You need to work for love!
This means you must be willing to sacrifice for your love.
A true love is a love when you can die for the other person. No love can start out like that, but a love that can be acheived over time and effort.
