LOL. Come on, John, think about it. What kind of couples come for pastoral
counseling? Couples who are having problems. I'm not surprised that they
would all agree with you that family members are disunified in speech.

We may very well be operating from different definitions, which is why I
gave you the 1 Cor. 1:10 passage, so that we would have a common starting
point.

My marriage does not sound much like your marriage. When I first met my
wife, she did not speak in tongues as I did, but within a month, I laid
hands on her and she received it, then she got rid of all her rock n' roll
and secular records and followed the Lord with her whole heart just like me.
My wife and I have different interests, but we complement each other and
speak the same. She once got on the list when some members were getting a
little rough on me, and she sounded so much like me that people accused me
of pretending that I was my wife!
My wife and I regularly have the same thoughts at the same time. We even
often go head to the bathroom at the same time. Unity is sometimes very
strange!
The important thing is that if you talk to me or to my wife or to one of my
daughters, you are going to hear people who are of the same mind and who are
in agreement and speak the same thing. Same thing with my brothers and
sisters in the Lord who are close to me.
Peace be with you.

Well, all righty then. Been nice talking to you.
