Why "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work" is actually backwards. 🛑👇
You’ve probably heard that old cliché a million times. But in marriage, relying on "teamwork" without a shared direction is why so many couples end up as two burnt-out roommates sharing a mortgage, passing like ships in the night.
It's actually DREAMWORK makes the team WORK.
When Mer and I left our corporate jobs, we blindly launched a real estate business we absolutely hated.
Why? Because we had no vision. We didn't have a North Star to guide our choices, so every minor decision created massive friction and domestic drag.
On Episode 152 of The 200% Marriage Podcast, we break down Part 6, Chapter 31: Dreamwork Makes the Teamwork.
We’re sharing how to use a single decision-making filter to eliminate arguments:
👉 Ask: "Does this get us closer to or further away from our shared North Star?"
👉 If it gets you closer: F*ck yeah, let's do it!
👉 If it takes you further away: It's a HELL NO (or a trip to the parking lot).
When you agree on the destination, molehills stay molehills, and figuring out the route is just logistics.
Be honest in the comments - do you and your teammate have a written, shared North Star for your future, or are you still winging it? Drop it below! 👇
