Love Does Not Boast
Boasting is anything that you can say that implies you think you are better than someone else. It is definitely not a way to show love.

I try not to brag. I try not to boast. Obviously I fail sometimes, but I know that I am not better than anyone else and I have confidence that no one else is better than me. We are equal and fellow journeyers on this crazy life adventure! I speak with confidence, but not with arrogance.
Because love does not boast.

"An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person's main task in life - becoming a better person." -Leo Tolstoy

Love is confident, not arrogant. Love recognizes the need to become stronger and better. Arrogance is lazy and refuses to change.

yeah, when you boast you say you're better than the other person. Our role, especially in marriage is to serve the other person and lift them up (and they do the same for us). This causes the team to be stronger as a result. I try not to boast too, but thanks for the reminder to be humble.
Exactly, lifting each other up makes us stronger! :)
