Two are better than one.


Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow, but woe to him that is alone when he falls and hath not another to lift him up. (Koheles 4:9)

A friend is a valuable aid in the art of good living. Life should not be a solitary journey. In the pursuit of truth, a friend affords us an honest evaluation and can keep an objective view of what is best, since his/her view is less colored by emotion than our thoughts are. Change may be necessary, but with a friend (sponsor) at our side, the pain is mitigated.

The price of friendship is trust, and the greater the investment in the sponsor/sponsee team, the greater the gain. Teamwork produces results.
