My husband and I are travelling cross country but there are times we "snap" at eachother and get on one anothers nerves.
We have been driving a lot I have a bad cold and I have been crabby. My husband is fining me for a dollar every time I curse when the trip gets frustarting.
>
My question is how can we make the most of the roadtrip we are on? How can we have peace and harmoney and bring the spark back in our marraige and better work as a team?

Perhaps you both may want to read what James wrote on the wickedness of an untamed tongue. James 3. It would seem to me to only be a cause of resentment when your husband fines you for cursing and maybe this is an area where you both would want to pray. May I suggest Paul's prayer for the Ephesians Ephesians 3: 14 -21.
And just get a hold of yourself remember who is supposed to be in control of the trip and if He is then if it seems frustrating then maybe you guys have lost sight of that fact.
We humans tend to get frustrated when things don't go our way and therefore the remedy is to examine
whose way are we following? Mine or God's.
You might also read to one another words of Jesus, in particular when you feel like cursing, why not try reading some of His words of forgiveness.
Our lives are a constant battle and we are best dressed with the armor of God.
Oh Yeah, I'll be praying for you.
We are all going to falter on this journey of life and being Christian doesn't make it easier, in fact it makes it tougher because everything we are supposed to follow is in direct opposition of what the world tells us to do. Take a step back and just Love your husband, and let him love you.

I think starting out on your road trip when you were already not feeling well physically wasn't the best decision. It sounds like you and your husband have a history of not getting along very well on road trips. That being the case, my question is - why do you continue to take them?
If think the way to have peace and harmony on your road trips is to work on having more peace and harmony in your relationship long before you TAKE a road trip. How you and your husband relate to one another in your day to day lives is a good indication of how you will interact with each other when you take road trips.
I think some people just aren't suited for road trips. They require patience and a pretty good sense of humor. You and your husband might be better off taking plane trips, or cruises, or the train.

pop on relaxing music/bossa. get a good scent.
bring back spark? well try sex. make it exciting. the idea is to put yourselves in a situation that both of you were to meet again for the first time. let things go on from there.
working better as a team? that is quite something, just be honest with each other and tell each other how much you appreciate them and how much you need each other, encouragement reinforces good work.

Traveling together with anyone (husband, boyfriend or girlfriends) is always challenging. 24h together? You are not so long with your partner when you are at home, specially if you both work.
Traveling together show you how connected you two are. If he is annoying to you at home, he will annoy you on trip even more.
Try to be understanding and loving with each other. Like you used to be, when you get married.
