Team Us: The Unifying Power of Grace, Commitment, and Cooperation in Marriage

I often refer to my books as “old friends”, but it’s not to often that I feel like the author is speaking to me as an “old friend”. Right from the first chapter of “Team Us: Marriage Together” by Ashleigh Slater I felt that she was speaking directly to me.The book “Team Us: Marriage Together” discusses one of the most important things in a marriage – Unity. When you get married it’s no longer “You” and “Me” but it’s “Us”. All to often after the honeymoon is over we revert back to the “You” and “Me” in our marriage. The author, Ashleigh Slater, shares with us ways to deepen commitment to each other, and practice grace on a daily basis.It is evident that Ashleigh and her husband love the Lord, and it is shown throughout their writing in the book. They shows how a Godly marriage will still have it’s arguments and frustrations but also how you can follow God’s word to live in grace and love.Ashleigh shares with us some of her own marriage lows and highs. Her husband Ted also shares his thoughts on what his wife has written. The end of each chapter has some questions that you and your spouse discuss. Don’t worry if your partner doesn’t read the book along with you, you still can open up the discussion and you’ll be surprised here the questions sometimes lead you.The author reminds us that it’s not all about changing our partner, but sometimes we need to change how we view things as well. She really stresses the “Us” part of a marriage while still showing how you can also maintain the “Me” too. “Team Us: Marriage Together” is a book that would be great for everyone regardless when you tied the knot. Newly weds will learn how to work together to form a stronger partnership and seasoned couples will be given a gentle reminder on what it is to be “one”.I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
