"Did you see the necklace she got?" "Look how big her bear is." It can leave us green with envy and sitting high in a place of resentment towards our significant other. While it is normal to have some high expectations, it's so important to be thankful for what we have.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it his not arrogant.
1 Corinthians 13:4
Oh, yes. The ever-so-cheesy 1 Corinthians go-to wedding scripture. But seriously. This is so important. And
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
Philippians 2:3
Count others more significant than yourselves. This does NOT mean you are not valuable. This does NOT excuse abusive behavior. This means that even though you really wanted those LuLaRoe leggings you've hinted at for a month, you don't complain when you didn't get them. This means that even though thoughtful, personalized gifts mean more to you, the store-bought flowers and Hallmark card you got are just as meaningful, because everyone is doing the best they can with what they have at any given moment.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Ephesians 4:2
