Selfishness
Destroys Marriages: The number one killer of marriage is selfishness.
The greatest threat to marital oneness is selfishness. The root cause of infidelity is selfishness. At the center of the unwillingness to apologize or forgive your spouse is nothing but selfishness.
The main reason why so many married couples do not want to practice financial oneness and transparency is selfishness. If you want to eliminate any problem in your marriage, you have to first eliminate selfishness and embrace total surrender of selflessness.
Maintaining peace and harmony in your marriage requires that both husband and wife overcome selfishness in their hearts. Marriage is where things like “me, I, my, mine” are supposed to be dead and buried while things like “us, we, our, ours.” are given birth to. One of the primary purposes of marriage is lovemaking, not just happiness.
There is no holiness without death to self. Marriage provides us the practical opportunity to die to ourselves daily and live for someone else. True love is selfless and sacrificial. The Bible in the book of Philippians chapter
2:3 to verse 4
says.
“In humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let every one of you look not only
to his interests but also to the interests of others.”
Other things that can destroy your marriage are;
Infidelity.
Lack of lovemaking and intimacy.
Lack trust.
Lack of communication.
Malice between husband and wife.
Using abusive words against your spouse, etc.
