It's funny that you bring this question up because I totally agree with you. We always call ourselves "Team K" because our last name is Kefalianos. Marriage is much better when you approach things together and when you stand by eachother. Why worry about things alone when you have eachother, right?
I agree with the woman above me. We are like one person. We share everything and every little issue is brought out in the open so that we can assess it together. We built both of our businesses from ground up together, saw eachother through hard times, and bask in the joys of life together.
In a lot of ways my husband is like my coach and I am happy to be a player on his team. We take the wins with the loses.

Of course your a team. There are 2 teams in my house, me and my husband. And then there is the kids, they are their own team. Gotta love it when one asks for something, and you can look at them and say, well what did your dad say. When you have kids, you always have to be on the same side, or they will learn how to play you against each other.
If you start out thinking this way, once you have kids you will have far less problems. They will know from the beginning that mom and dad will always agree with each other.

I just answered a question like this to my friend whose husband always says he does more then her! I said, "Work as a team not against each other!" This is not a competition or a race, it's a marriage.. We both work and do the chores, but make time @ 5 0r 6 to sit, have a drink, and talk about our day( w/ no one else around)Life gets way too busy. You will grow to love your partner more and more, if you look at life as one unified couple. Enjoy everyday!!!

Although I'm not married, my boyfriend and I live together. I definitely feel like we're a team. Where and when one of us lacks the other picks up the slack.
I never had, or rather did not feel this team mentality in any of my prior relationships, and I wonder now if that played a part in their ultimate demise.
Good question!

I feel like my fiance and I are a team. I think the feeling of being a team is important for every marriage whether both parties are taking an equal standing or if one of the partners stays at home while the other earns the money.
It's what turns the "yours" and "mine" mentality into the very necessary "ours" mentality.

Who is the working partner and who gets to make all the decisions?
Marriage is more complex than being a team, which cant negotiate over everything. Its loving each other and understanding each other. Respect each other without playing a judge over everything that the other person does. That will make it work.

I definitely feel like my wife and I are a team. We team up on discipline with our kids so that they know we're united against bad behavior. We're a team on finances, both working pretty good jobs, putting all our incomes into a joint account, paying all bills faithfully, and discussing all major purchases. We are a team sexually, each of us making sure the other one gets what he or she wants and neither feeling satisfied unless both are satisfied. I could give you bunches of examples, but yes, my wife and I make a great team!

we're definately a team, and i think that's the way every married, or seriously involved couple who lives together, should be. it's works great for us, cuz neither of us feel like we do ALL the work, etc. i think a lot of couples fight about that kind of stuff, but if u work together, those fights won't happen, and u really appreciate ur significant other more.

Yes, we are definitely a team. We try and divide up the responsibilities according to who does what best, and not on an arbitrary 50/50 basis. It works really well for us.

Yes, my wife told me we are a team. She says we work like a team to solve the problems of the family, and she says our marriage is very good and happy.
