Empowered to accomplish amazing things together

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." (Eccles. 4:9-12 KJV)

This is another flexible promise that you can use in many applications. It will work in a family (working together as a team), in a business (partnerships), and all kinds of positive relationships (friendships). 

It especially works well in marriage relationships!

Couples who see themselves as totally committed partners (the Bible calls it "one flesh") are empowered to accomplish amazing things together. They become stronger working together than what was ever possible going it alone! They are able to take advantage of each other's strengths to overcome challenges and succeed.

 A threefold cord

The last part of this promise says, "a threefold cord is not quickly broken". In a marriage relationship that third cord must be God! When a couple puts God into their relationship, something wonderful happens. As they pray together to get closer to God, they get closer to each other in the process! And, another wonderful thing happens! The promise of Matthew 18:19 becomes active for them: "If two of you will agree together on anything, then God will do it".
