"Necessity of Oneness"
The devil plants lies in peoples minds. The only way you're going to be truly happy is by following the principles found in the Word.
Oneness - joined together in unity. Moving in the same direction. Same goals. 
You don't want everyone to be the same as you. We were made different for the following reason: 1 Cor 12:25
Gen 2:24, Mat 19:3-8, Mark 10:2, Eph 5:25-27, 1 Cor 6:15-17 : The use of one flesh has been used five times. When man and female come together the union is part of the image of God... As the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one.
How do you become one...
Let's consider how we became one spirit with the Lord...we had to die. Die to self. It is similar with our spouse...we have to die to self.
Often times we focus on being right...but we should focus on being right with our spouse. 
The key to a successful Christian life? You must die to yourself.
The key to a successful marriage? You must die to yourself.
Die and let God take over...He can choose a better job, He can choose a better house, He can choose a better friend...
Malachi 2:14-16
One can put 1000 to flight. Two can put 10000 to flight. Working together can exponentially increase your effectiveness for the Kingdom.
Men, die first as Jesus died for His bride, even when we were sinners.
Eph 5:25-27

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!
