Pitfalls of Pride

Proverbs 13:10a says "Pride leads to strife" - this is certainly true not only in our marriage relationship but also with our relationship with God. How can we identify what pride looks like and be able to instead turn to humility in these relationships. Jesus sets the example and humbles himself on the cross for us, how can we humble ourselves as well?
