but one in marriage

We often hear people say that there is no "I" in team. Often so many become so independent in their lifestyle that team work in relationships can sometimes cause a problem. Husbands are naturally independent due to the strengths and duties that are expected of them. From the beginning of the creation of man he was ordered to work by the sweat of his brow and provide for his family. Independence is the cornerstone of a man's pride but once he is married then the I becomes we.

Single men that have been single for a while may have a problem with team work due to the fact that they've lived single for a period of time and will have to adjust to couple lifestyle. Where he is use to preparing his own food, now he has a wife to do so. The same goes for laundry, shopping and yes, even lovemaking. He has to now step aside and allow a loving and supportive wife to be his aide.

But also, what if he has a wife that works just as much as him and needs his help with chores and or kids. Many couples find it hard to jungle it all but most have found that team work gets it done. There should be no "I did the dishes," "I paid that bill," there should only be, I got your back, or do you need any help with that?

I can't believe that many people are missing this simple strategy. You hear couples bicker all the time about sharing the house work or putting the kids to bed. While many couples find it hard to even spend time with one another after a days work and putting the kids to bed at night, there are couples who have adopted the team work strategy and can enjoy the rewards of their team work once the kids are in bed, if you catch my meaning.

Team work isn't just for sports teams, it's for every team and being married takes team work and effort from both parties. You are on a team which consist of "one for all and all for one," your marriage and family is a team that deserves to win and all players get to play. No one sits on the bench.

Wow if only it could be that way! My husband is not bad giving me credit where credit is due but housework? It is easier just to do it myself, and of course I know that is what he wants me to think....lol
