Jack was so hyped about the new Mercedes Benz he and his wife purchased the week before. “Hey guys, I got my new car last week and I love it so much. I will give you all a spin in it some day but I cannot wait to get it washed and polished.
” Jack’s wife told her girlfriends about the new Mercedes too. “Jack and I own a new Mercedes Benz” she said excitingly. “We have never really owned a new car before” she continued.
“We are so blessed to have been able to pay cash for it” she testified. Michelle and I have made a decision to have one bank account together. We actually budget together, fish together, play ball together, eat together, and so much more.
Togetherness has been the glue that kept us going. There are times when I will have time with guy friends and she has her time with her girlfriends but our marriage takes precedence over all else. There is no “I” own this or that.
It is always “we .” Great marriages hinge on one very important choice that every married couple has the capability to make to have a great marriage. Yet, some couples remove the hinges and leave the marriage door opened to contention that many times lead to resentment and sometimes divorce.
There are two very powerful contenders fighting against each other in every relationship. But they have no control over the choice of the spouses in the marriage relationship. These two contenders cannot enter into a fight unless spouses give them the boxing gloves and put them in the mar.
