		Improving Your Teamwork Book 6 of Marriage by the Book Interactive, Bible-based Christian marriage help. Advice for individuals, couples, small groups, cell groups and adult Sunday school classes Order this book Most Christians know the Bible defines different roles for husband and wife, and that it uses terms such as head, submit and submission. Yet few people take the time to really study what God says about this sensitive subject. Some say, "It’s easy. The husband is the head (leader) and makes the decisions. His wife must submit to what he says." It doesn't take much Bible study to realize this simplistic idea of headship does not capture God’s big picture. Others go the opposite direction, looking for ways to discount Scriptures that define the husband’s and wife’s roles. They, too, miss God’s plan. God designed marriage to be a partnership, with husband and wife experiencing an intimate unity. Although there are differences in roles, neither is "the boss" in the way so many dread. Rather, each seeks to please the other, while gladly acknowledging the leadership of God’s Holy Spirit. In Improving Your Teamwork, you will discover:        God sees you as a team and he expects teamwork        God is the owner and coach of your Christian team        The importance of mutual submission        The roles of husbands and wives        The difference between dictatorship and servant leadership        What "submission" means—and what it doesn't        Steps to follow when making a decision        Ways to practice teamwork in your daily lives        The importance of mutual love        How to troubleshoot glitches in your teamwork These pages will challenge you—whether you already have a grasp of basic biblical principles, don't know what God’s Word says about this subject or are struggling to break free from misconceptions, . Study with your spouse. Yet if your mate doesn't want to study, don't be discouraged. Study by yourself. You will learn insights about your role and steps to take that can make a big difference in your marriage. This book is perfect for a six-week study by an individual, a couple, a small group or a church class. It can be studied alone, or as part of an ongoing study using all eight books in Marriage by the Book. If you study in a group, the Group Leaders' Guide is a helpful resource. Each chapter is interactive, with personal application questions scattered throughout to help you put its biblical advice into practice. The book is comprehensive and detailed, yet easy to use and practical. May God bless you with understanding and insight as you read, and may your marriage grow more light-filled and tenderhearted as you apply his Word in your lives. "I highly recommend these books.
