Same Team

Same Team offers a practical guide illuminating helpful steps to take as a couple that enhance connection and coregulation as we face the demands of life, including raising our children. Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman provide step-by-step ways to help two individuals break repetitive cycles of disconnection, cultivate a resilient relationship by nurturing repair and reconnection, and become role models for the whole family – Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of MINDSIGHT, BRAINSTORM, and PARENTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT
I’ve been a couple’s therapist close to forty years and let me share an open secret: kids rip the guts out of your romantic relationship. Family ? A+! Couple? D-! If I had only one book to give couples as emergency first aid to their precious connection, Same Team wins hands down. Smart, engaging, full of real advice from a couple who have been through it themselves, and helped thousands of others along with them. Read it. Use it! It’s as practical and helpful as it is wise – Terrence Real, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of US: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship
Same Team, by Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman, starts from something most parents never get told. Kids don’t just absorb parenting, they absorb the whole household, the words and the tone underneath them. How caregivers talk, argue, and repair with each other is part of a child’s environment, as real as anything you’re directly teaching them. That’s where kids form their earliest wiring for what love and trust look like, in every relationship they’ll carry forward. Model that well, and you are shaping who they become in relationships long before they have the words for it – Dr. Mona Amin, pediatrician and founder of PedsDocTalk
So few of us grew up learning what it actually takes to create a healthy marriage - one that sustains both of us and that offers a loving model to the children we are raising. Same Team is that guide. On these pages, the Freemans offer invaluable tools designed to help us build and nurture a lasting, fulfilling marriage. I look forward to recommending this book to couples for years to come – Alexandra H. Solomon, PhD, adjunct professor at Northwestern University, MasterClass instructor, and bestselling author of LOVE EVERY DAY
We’re big believers that marriage isn’t about getting it right all the time. It’s about continuing to choose each other and remembering you’re on the same team. Same Team is such a great reminder of that, especially in the middle of kids, work, and all the craziness of life. The way we love and support each other is also one of the greatest examples we can give our kids – Shawn Johnson East & Andrew East, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling authors of THE COURAGE TO COMMIT
Same Team is the relational puzzle piece that so many families have been missing. Wise, thorough, and clear, this guide will help you go from painful disconnection to connected mission – Eli Harwood MA LPC author of RAISING SECURELY ATTACHED KIDS, and creator of Attachment Nerd and The Secure Parent Program
