The Destructiveness of Self-Righteousness

Self-righteousness is described as a major obstacle in marriages, as individuals refuse to accept their own faults and instead justify their actions. Examples of self-justification are given, such as a person engaging in adultery believing that their spouse would understand why they did it. This self-righteousness hinders growth and progress in relationships and prevents individuals from desiring grace, forgiveness, and change.
