In this podcast, Kim and Rog explore the concept of being a team in a relationship. They begin by defining a team as a group of people working together towards a common purpose, having clarity about their objectives and goals, and a sense of partnership and camaraderie. They discuss how some groups, such as sports teams, are more successful than others because of their buy-in to A common purpose.

Relationship as a Team

Living as a team in a relationship is important to having a strong and successful relationship. Key to this is understanding in a world of limited resources, efforts should be put towards a joint purpose, rather 2 individual purposes that may be misaligned. When a couple lives as a team, they can pull their resources together effectively and achieve great things.

They also discuss the importance of aligning one’s values and working towards them as a team, particularly in a relationship. By putting the team first and working on the relationship, individuals can align with the value of being in a successful relationship. By living according to one’s values and being part of a team, individuals can be their truest selves and experience greater fulfillment in life.

There is cost to anything worth while

Rog cites the example of Geelong, a premiership-winning team whose players have aligned their values with the club’s culture and goals. Despite earning less than they would in other clubs, these players find fulfillment, joy and ultimately success in their work because it aligns with their values.
