Someone who knows the music, the dancers and the scene determines who dips, who spins, who leads, and when.

As I've observed great dancers of all types, I've made a few observations that not only seem rather obvious, but also have significant application to our marriages. No matter how effortless the final product may seem, a great dance doesn't just happen.

Most of us would rather dance, no question. Is your marriage like a dance, or more like a debate? Do you and your mate find yourselves staking territory, divvying up the chores and keeping score, with a constant current of conflict flowing just below the surface? Or are you enjoying the give and take, the joyful unity, of a marriage that moves along in time with beautiful harmony and rhythm? Wouldn’t you rather be dancing the waltz with the love of your life than posting "no trespassing" signs?
