What, in practical terms, would a pursuit of “holiness and humility rather than power and personal fulfillment” look like in a marriage and family setting?

In Chapter 15, Family, Mr. Mangalwadi writes: “Marriage brings out the worst in both husbands and wives. They must choose whether to stay in that school of character or to drop out. The Bible made divorce difficult because one does not learn much by quitting a challenging school. The only way to make monogamy work is to value love above pleasure, to pursue holiness and humility rather than power and personal fulfillment, to find grace to repent rather than condemn, to learn sacrifice and patience in place of indulgence and gratification.”
