What are you agreeing to when you say "I do"?
When a couple promises "I do," they agree to more than just a shared last name, a joint bank account, and no more dateless nights. This husband and wife duo forms a new team. "Life together" becomes their mantra. Nothing can come between them. At least, that's the plan.
But then real life sets in. With it come disappointments and frustrations. If the couple isn't intentional in their day-to-day interactions, that once enthusiastic "we" can slowly revert to "you" and "me." Before long, the couple's left wondering what happened to their team spirit.
Team Us: Marriage Together offers couples practical ways to cultivate and strengthen unity in their marriages. Author Ashleigh Slater shares from her own marriage as she presents couples with realistic ideas on how to foster cooperation, deepen commitment, and exercise grace on a daily basis.

My Review
Team US Marriage
Together
By: Ashleigh Slater
I really liked in the very first part of the book in the
introduction of the book how Ashleigh says before marriage you are a me but
once married we are not me anymore but
US. That's so true. If not it tends to not work out so well. Then the union is about ones self. After
marriage we become a team. A
relationship where as a team we can give Grace. Remembering communication in the relationship
is a must. I have been married just about 37 years in a couple weeks. I will
say having communication open in it has been a great factor, plus putting the
other person before self {me}. Making our union a US makes it work well
together. Ashleigh shows how working as
a team makes things in a marriage work much better. I agree. This is a awesome book for those getting
married but also for old timers in marriage can make you step back and
think. Wonderful book on marriage. Highly
recommended.
I WILL BE GIVING AWAY ONE COPY!!!!
