Working together is not easy. For the first twenty-five years of our marriage and ministry, we had people who helped us with telephone calls, emails, appointments, travel plans, recordings, production, and much else, for our international ministry. Today, the two of us create and implement almost everything we do, every day. Somehow, we\u2019ve managed to each do our part, even if it\u2019s out of our realm of training or expertise, in order to press-on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There are many reasons we\u2019ve been able to successfully work together but the main reason is this: We know we are called to a common purpose. We use the gifts and talents God has given each of us as we, hopefully, make a positive difference in people\u2019s lives. We aren\u2019t afraid to learn something new, even if it takes a day or two; sometimes longer. Each day we wake up and ask God what he wants from us. Every night, we ask God how we did.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Most of our conflicts happen when we misunderstand what our roles are, or how we carry them out\u2026 differently. Showing each other grace, being committed to our goals and aspirations, while honoring our marriage, have helped us succeed. When we argue, we resolve it quickly, so anger and resentment don\u2019t grow. We\u2019ve also completed temperament and personality analyses, so we know each other\u2019s weaknesses and we understand each other, yet we try to acknowledge each other\u2019s strengths, in order to fulfill God\u2019s call on our lives and our ministry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you work with your spouse, it\u2019s helpful if each of you is fulfilling your calling, while working together for common, God-inspired goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
For it is God who works in you\u00a0to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2:13<\/em><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Working together is not easy.
