12 Secrets of Successful families - 2. Teamwork

WHAT IT MEANS

When there is teamwork in a marriage, a husband and  wife are like a pilot and copilot with the same flight plan. Even when challenges arise, each spouse thinks in terms of "we' rather than "me." 

BIBLE PRINCIPLE:  "They are no longer two, but one flesh." -MATTHEW 19:6.

"Marriage is not a solo act. Husband and wife must work together to make it successful." - Christopher.

WHY IT MATTERS

 When a conflict arises, a husband and wife who are not a team will tend to attack each other rather than the problem.  Minor issues will turn into major obstacles.

"Teamwork is the essence of marriage.  If my husband and I weren't a team, we would be roommates instead of marriage mates-two people who live together but who aren't on the same page when it comes to important decisions."-Alexandra.
