What Most Marriages Are Missing
The best marriages have a teamwork mentality. Spouses serve each other, support each other, and celebrate each other. They tackle life as a unit, and when one slips, the other gives grace. They can be vulnerable together because they know they rise and fall as one.
Do you want a marriage like this? Team Us will help you and your spouse cultivate a teamwork mentality. I share observations from my marriage while offering practical, realistic ideas for unifying yours.
Even if just one of you reads, your marriage can grow in intimacy and joy, providing momentum for the changes you long to see.
Team Us: The Unifying Power of Grace, Commitment, and Cooperation in Marriage is available for order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ChristianBook.com.
