Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of teamwork and cooperation in achieving common goals. It suggests that when you work together with your spouse or partner towards something, such as tending to a garden, the efforts and responsibilities are shared, making the task more efficient and enjoyable. On the other hand, if you choose to neglect or focus solely on eliminating problems (weeding), it becomes an isolated and burdensome task. Ultimately, the quote encourages collaboration and unity in order to achieve success.
