One

^"6But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.⁷For this reason a man shall leave [behind] his father and his mother ^d]">and be joined to his wife and cleave closely to her permanently, ⁸And the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.⁹What therefore God has united (joined together), let not man separate or divide" (Mark 10, Amplified Bible).

Back in elementary school we used to do the three legged race. I feel like in marriage I'm running a three legged race! There must be unity to have success.

I am learning some things, ever so slowly :) in marriage. I am learning to trust, yield and adapt. I love the Amplified translation because it goes into detail. Ephesians 5 says ,"Wives, be subject (be submissive and adapt yourselves) to your own husbands as [a service] to the Lord.²³For the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the church, Himself the Savior of [His] body.²⁴As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.²⁵Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her..."

If a husband loves his wife (v.23) it is easy for her to trust and adapt. In the major and minor decisions of life it is so important to work together as a team, but every team must have a leader. Take that principle to the bank, take it to your church, and take it to your marriage. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who makes life simpler for me. When picking your marriage partner make sure it is someone that will make a good team mate!
