Act like you are on the same team

Its easy to become defensive with each other – especially if you haven’t spent much time together as of late or have rugrats running around that demand your time.

Little things get on your nerves

My Beautiful Wife™ often reminds me that we are on the same team.

Her way of describing it is this:

Imagine the thing we are up against isn’t BETWEEN US…imagine it is out IN FRONT of us, and we are standing together on the same side, against it.

This is one of the most helpful things she has said in nine years of being together. (Yes, there are other wonderful things she has said, but more for another day)

This was the picture she used when we were dealing with my porn habit.

She was always on my side.

No, she didn’t like it, but it was not between us.

We were together and it was out in front of us, and we were able to battle it as a team.

Don’t let things get between you, imagine you and your spouse on the same team, and the difficulty out in front of you – and you two huddling up and going at it… and beating that thing together.
