Pride is the downfall of a lot of people and that includes in marriages. In a marriage, you two are a team in life. When one person or both think that they are better or show off that they are better it can hurt your other half which in turn will hurt the entire team. Boastful means "showing excessive pride and self-satisfaction in one's achievements, possessions, or abilities."
When you elevate your self above your husband with your boastfulness it can tear him down to a level where he starts feeling not good enough. Boasting may make you feel good about yourself but it can make the people around you feel less than. You should want your man to have confidence because confidence is crazy attractive!
As a husband, your man needs the encouragement that he is a good man for you in the matters of being smart and strong. Husbands are meant to protect and provide for their woman so when they are torn down and feel like they are not good enough it will start coming out negatively. You need to be building him up not tearing him down by boasting about yourself. Now, its okay to celebrate accomplishments and be excited about your accomplishments but not at the expense of your spouse. You may even find that the more you lift him up, he will start building you up as well.
Today your task is to start building your man up instead of focusing on you. It can be the simplest thing such as saying thank you for working so hard to provide or tell him "You are looking really sexy today". I can say from experience telling my husband he is looking really sexy builds him up so much!
