Why We All Need Spotters in Our Marriages

Why-We-All-Need-Spotters-in-Our-Marriage“We need more spotters!” I called to the girls on my cheerleading squad.

So I called for more spotters. A spotter is someone on the ground who stands ready, arms outstretched, to assist the gal on top should she start to wobble. If she does, the spotter reaches up and holds her ankles to steady her and keep her on course. The spotters on the ground are essential to the success of the mount. They can make or break the landing. They can prevent falls and ultimately injuries.
