A More Excellent Way

Almost daily, I admire my husband's hobby which is ship modeling. He has master minded some of the most famous ships and they are breathtaking in that he has every thread and small part, including designing his own sails. Looking at the ship he is working on for the past two years, reminded me we can become so preoccupied with who is supposed to do what in a marriage that we can miss the point. Instead of a husband and wife sailing the seas of life in the same boat, rowing together, trimming the sails together, and making sure the whole operation runs smoothly together, many spouses are actually in two different boats! Yet the two won't truly become one until they do get into the same boat.
