1. EMOTIONAL CONNECTION
It is easy for couples to work together when they are emotionally connected. Such emotional connection is achieved when the emotional needs of each spouse are fully satisfied. This includes, but isn't limited to sexual satisfaction.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Romans 12:15
2. ALIGN YOUR VALUES AND GOALS
Have regular discussions with your spouse to ensure that you both are on the same page regarding your life goals, values, and vision. Such an act will greatly increase the synergy in your marriage. The reverse is the case when couples do not align their goals together. They will end up moving in different directions; creating division.
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
Ecclesiastes 4:9
3. DEVELOP STRONG COMMUNICATION
When there is an environment where both partners feel safe to express their thoughts, needs, and concerns openly, it gives room for understanding and synergy in marriage.
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Colossians 4:6
4. CULTIVATE TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY
In marriage, trust is the foundation for working together. When trust is built, working together becomes easy. Being honest, open, and transparent with each other will greatly increase the synergy in your marriage.
He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
Proverbs 10:9
5. SPENDING QUALITY TIME TOGETHER
The more you spend time together, the more you have the opportunity to align your goals and vision together. Take advantage of calls and social media to stay in touch, if you can’t meet physically as you would have loved to. Be intentional about spending quality time together to bond together, emotionally and mentally.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
Proverbs 3:3
6. ENCOURAGE AND MOTIVATE EACH OTHER
Your spouse will joyfully want to always carry you along when he or she is convinced that you are always an encourager. Believe in your spouse. Encourage your spouse. Don’t be selfish. Support each other’s personal growth and dreams.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
7. PRACTICE FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION
As you journey on this path of marriage, there will be friction and misunderstanding. Learn to quickly address conflicts and misunderstandings with humility and forgiveness to maintain unity and synergy in your marriage.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
8. EMBRACE TEAMWORK AND DELEGATION
Don’t be a jack of all trades. Don’t let your differences divide you. Rather, leverage on the strength of your spouse and delegate responsibility accordingly. Let your spouse feel belong. Let your spouse be part of the process towards achieving that goal. Don’t relegate your spouse to the corner.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
9. GROWTH TOGETHER
By growing together, couples will bridge the gap between themselves. Each partner must see to the continuous improvement of the other. You can achieve this together by attending marriage workshops, reading books, and seeking marital counsel together.
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Proverbs 27:17
10. PRAYING TOGETHER
Praying together is one smart way to maintain synergy in your marriage. In prayer, you are activating spiritual help for the actualization of your dreams. Regularly pray together concerning any matter. Other spiritual activities like worship and doing Bible study together will also foster unity in your marriage.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5:16
