In working with couples, one of the first things I ask is for them to bring an attitude of humility. I encourage them to remember that the person who knows them best is sitting next to them, and that the person best equipped to speak into their lives is their mate. While we often don’t want to, our mates have very important things to tell us if we will listen. Consider the words of Solomon on this matter: “A man (or woman) who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will be destroyed—without remedy” (Proverbs 29:1).
