I recently did the "Dave Ramsey" series and learned so much more than just the 7 baby steps to financial peace. Going through this learning process was my start of realizing how well Harrison and I work together as a team. God gave each of us different talents and characteristics in two aspects: gender and personal self.
God built man and woman differently. He designed them to have different responsibilities. God's intention for man is to be the protector and the provider. Woman, He intended for nurture and support. What a great team man and woman can come together and be! With the womans love and support, the man can have help and confidence to do his duty to protect and provide. God knows what He's doing ;)
The first time I noticed how good of a team we are is when we came together to put order in our finances. Harrisons characteristics as "harrison" (aside from his characteristics as a man) are to be organized and complete. In this way, he does a fabulous job with the monthly bills. Keeping track of everything on excel and knocking them out one at a time until he has completed our payments on everything. He is excellent at that.
My characteristics (as a person, aside from female), I am a thinker, planner, and a goal setter. I constantly think and plan the best way for us to put %100 down on a house one day, no student loans for our children, and retirement.
Harrison and I make the best team when it comes to just our finances alone. In order to gain success in your marriage or anything: career, school,etc, learn who you are. Learn every aspect of yourself. Who are you as a male or a female? Are you a supporter? And a nurturer? Then practice those things. Become great at them. They are instilled in you already so you have the potential to attain excellence in them.
Who are you as a person?.organizer? Planner? Creative? Morning person? Night owl? Auditory? Visual? Find yourself and grow in your strengths. Take what you're good at and become excellent at it.
