“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” – Amos 3:3 KJV

From the above scripture, we can see that agreement brings about togetherness. If there is no agreement on vision, on goals and on values, togetherness will be a difficult thing to achieve.

Togetherness simply can be said to mean oneness. It involves a collaboration or friendship which comes from true love and trust.

It is one vital ingredient that every home intending to enjoy true marital bliss, must have. God’s purpose for designing marriage is solely for man’s benefit as well as to bring glory to God.

Togetherness is that feeling of knowing that you and your spouse are aligned with each other.

Togetherness means that when your spouse is down in whatever area of his life, you are there to be a source of inspiration and strength to him.

When you and your spouse walk in togetherness, it becomes very difficult for the enemy to have dominion over your marriage. The Bible says one will chase a thousand and two will chase ten thousand; this implies that what one person will achieve will be greater when you become two walking in agreement.

Imagine your spouse having deep thoughts concerning a project he is working on and then you just say to him “ we are in this together”; that phrase alone would give him an assurance that no matter how difficult it gets, he has someone who will be there to hold his hands along the way.

He gets encouraged and gets the strength to even push more, simply because you are together in this.

Togetherness is not just a word, it is a state of being. It is a state in which the two hearts long to always beat for each other no matter how hard the storms of life rock the boat of your marriage.

Togetherness helps you become one in your marriage without losing your individual identities, rather it helps to build a formidable force that will stand the test of time as long as God is the cord that binds you both together.

There are different ways you can build togetherness in your marriage:

● Always be willing to help even if you have no idea of what to do. I remember telling my husband that I was not the creative type or business-oriented person while he was more of a business man.

I realized the fact that I wasn’t willing to offer any advice since I felt it would be useless to him only added to his burden.

So, I tried to always come in other areas I knew I could be of help and this helped ease a lot of the burden on him. Feel free to even pray when you don’t know what advice to give. It sure goes a long way.

● Become your husband’s number one fan. Always be there to cheer him on whenever he achieves a feat or meets his target. He would do everything possible to ensure he never lets you down. Even when he fails in a task, don’t be the first to criticize him. Let your arms be his safe haven where he finds rest. Encourage him and let him always see the best of every situation.

● Pray for him always.

Building a successful marriage is not the easiest of things to do but when you are willing to do all the work and trust God for help, you will have a marriage full of bliss.
