Being content and being prideful

Unlike a lot of my other posts, this one will be fairly short. Recently, I was married and have come to realize more and more (the longer I'm married) the true depths of my selfishness and sin. I am able to do this because my wife sometimes puts me in difficult situations (I've been at work all day and I want to unwind by watching the game and she wants to snuggle and talk). It was then that it hit me - a lot of today's youth, especially men, don't push themselves and take it easy - that their life is crippled by their over-enjoyment of pleasure.

Quite simply, viewing just one of the benefits of marriage as being put in difficult situations and being forced to confront your own selfish/sinfulness helps to put it in a much better prospective. As one pastor I've heard say, "Marriage's goal is for you to be Holy, not Happy"
