Knowing we were created in the image of God, we understand our value. Whenever we think of ourselves just right in marriage, we understand our proper place within the relationship. Our spouse will always be relating to part of us and not all of us. When we think too little of ourselves, a healthy marriage is not possible because we will never fully engage in the relationship.

We expect them to make us happy, serve us, and make us the center of attention. Instead of understanding God’s role in marriage, we assume marriage is simply about our feelings, satisfaction, happiness.įrom this perspective, our spouse’s role is to please us. When we overestimate our value in marriage, we make marriage solely about us. When we think either too little or too much of ourselves, we will throw our marriage out of balance. For a healthy marriage, we need to understand ourselves and our spouses in the proper way. Pride can express itself in one of two extremes–thinking too highly of ourselves or thinking too little of ourselves. Within marriage, we need to find just the right perspective of how to think of ourselves. The Goldilocks principle often references finding the middle ground of two extremes. Goldilocks finds one too cold, one too hot, but one just right. Each animal has a preference for the porridge. In the children’s fairy tale The Three Bears, a little girl named Goldilocks enters an empty house owned by three bears–Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear.
