Like a spider web that is well connected with each other, couples in marriage must work together and be involved in each other. Making it impossible for one to be complete without the other.

Work together as friends: Do whatever you want to do together, work together as friends, no task is tedious if it is done together. Raise your children together, do household chores together, join hands to fulfill God’s will for your home, fight your fight together and win wars together.

Encourage team spirit: Let there be team spirit. In a team no individual is more important than the other. Everyone takes the glory from the team, and failure is faced together. Create a mental goal, allow love to reign, build togetherness, cover each other’s weaknesses, embrace each other’s uniqueness and make things happen for each other.

Base your marriage on team spirit and look forward to a working relationship. Learn how to create goals together, communicate appropriately about it, and strategize how to make it work and be successful. Don’t blame each other if you don’t get the desired result; rather, sit down together to map out new strategies. Always avoid blaming each other, but praise each other for little success.

Fraternity: Operate as brothers; let the same blood run through your vein. The brothers disagree, but they don’t fight each other, instead they talk and argue until they agree and find common ground.

Never fight to hurt, never see disagreement as a battle, when you disagree; it should be finding a better way to move the family forward. Never get into the “win at all costs” mentality. In fact, there is nothing to gain or lose from family disappointments.

Let there be brotherhood, love and affection. Let there be union and intimacy. Be co-builders, collaborators, co-heirs, be one, stay together, fight your battles together and win together. Increase in love, swim together in affection.

The relationship that exists between you and your spouse is stronger than brotherhood, as long as you join your brothers by blood; you are bound to your partner by covenant. Blood may be thicker than water, but the covenant is thicker than blood. Therefore, guide your marriage zealously.
