Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

The Advantages of Companionship
9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
There is power in relationships. Together we can do better work. Together we can help each other in difficult times.
Take a thread and see how much strength is needed to break it. It’s easily doable. Take three strands of the same thread and twist them together. The task of snapping them becomes more difficult.
Three separate individuals are as vulnerable as one individual alone. In “relationships”, we are like the twisted thread. Better work, less vulnerability.
