TEAMWORK
When a couple join in good faith, they can support each other and work in harmony toward a common goal. Like the way a sports team works together. From the time you wake-up, you are “on the field” with your partner.
You must work to treat each of other with support, encouragement, respect, and care.
Teamwork means that you are aware of each other, and available for personal support if needed. If you are confronting a problem with persons or things that results in escalating anger or frustration, you should know that your partner will be there to help de-escalate the situation and support an effective resolution.
When you see a partner intervening with a friend or a child, it is helpful to track what they are doing without interfering and be available to them for help if they ask for it. Offering silent support of your partner
shows your trust in their decision-making.
It is high priority for the couple to stay as “grounded” as possible while interacting. It is much easier to feel relaxed and strong when you feel the support of your partner behind you.
Shattering The Team
The concept of teamwork is shattered if a couple gets into blaming, vicious competition for positions, “practical” jokes that are cruel, etc.
