Love puts another first. Pride means me first.
When you are boasting, you are wanting the world to pay attention to you. Love pays attention to another.

Envy hates because another has. This comes from an evil heart. We should rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn, but those who are given to feeling superior when they make comparisons also tend to feel envy when they feel inferior in any way.
This is the opposite of unity. So if you envy your spouse, your relationship is adversarial. You should make it partnership.
1 Cor. 13: 4 says: Love does not envy. You should shield your spouse, not leave them exposed to abuse.

Married couples fall into the trap of expecting their spouse to be kind and reserving any show of kindness until then. This is path to divorce.
Remember when you were in love? No mountain was too high, no sea too stormy. You spent time thinking up new and fantastic ways to be kind to your beloved.
People tend to “let their hair down” around family, which means they’re mean. Oddly, with strangers they’re nice. Reverse this and be nice to family. Be tender to your spouse.
If you will simply be kind (even if your spouse “doesn’t deserve it”), you could set your marriage onto a path towards renewed happiness.
1 Cor. 13:4 says: Love is kind.
