Marriage Is An Act Of Faith And Not Money

You Said That Marriage Is An Act Of Faith And
Not Money: How Can You Marry Without
Money?
We have had princes and princesses and sons and
daughters of the wealthy who could not marry. We
have had people of wealth and means who could not
even chat a woman up or have a man pay attention
to them. We have had many of these people with a
lot of money who lived and died single. We have
many of such who could not make successful
marriages. We have many high and mighty, wealthy
and educated that could not raise a family or
posterity they could be proud of on earth and, of
course, in the presence of God. For these, money
never was their problem because they had money in
abundance.
In the same vein, we have had many people without
money or who are poor who could not marry or are
also unable to chat a woman up or be desired by any
man. There are several poor people who could not
raise a proper family they could be proud of just as
there has been the rich and wealthy who could not
also do the same.
What all these point to is that, logically speaking,
money is not a catcher for marriage. What I have
learned from my own experience is that the decision
to get married is not an issue of the availability of
money but that of desire. Desire is the first principle
of successful living and wealth creation. It is desire
that pushes for the achievement of anything in life. If
you want something so badly, then you always
ultimately get it. But if you do not want something,
even if it is dropped at your feet, you have no
motivation to do anything about it.
Think about it this way. The first time you did
something important for your welfare and
development, did you do it because you had money or
did you do it because it is what you wanted? Every
time I have done this test with people, it is always
that they obtained something because it is what they
wanted rather than what money they have leading
them to go for what they got.
I know people who are married whose monthly
income is less than half of many who would not
marry because they did not have enough money to
feed themselves not to talk of adding another mouth
in the place of a wife and possibly children.
Even with all the money in the world, there is no
guarantee that your marriage would be happy. The
things that guarantee peace and happiness in
marriage are ninety per cent attitude, nine and half
per cent decision. Other variables share the remaining
half per cent with money in contributing to peace and
happiness in marriage.
In the foundation for joyful relationships, friendship,
mutual respect and faith in God are tops to what
people should learn and acquire during dating and
courtship if they want to be happy in their marriage.
If you need help with your dating and marriage
relationship.

When Helping is not Helping

Having the desire to help others is the calling that brings many into the “helping professions.” For others, it is the day to day service that we do for our families, children and others we work for/or/with. There is a fine line however when helping is not really helping, but rather a barrier that leads to stagnation or worse yet, fosters an unhealthy dependence. Indicators of when helping is NOT helping: 1. When the help we provide is not accepted by others The term I’ve used for years is when helping leads to “help rejecting complainers.” When our helping leads others to excuse themselves of embracing the help, then rejecting it, or avoiding it. This is not a judgment of our help or our intent, but of others’ readiness to change. They may simply not see the same way as you do. They may not value the same things. 2. When the help leads others to make the same poor decisions Any change effort has to be embraced as well as given. It is hard to un...

The Most complex problem

Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant’s beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant’s debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag.If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender’s wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant’s garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up ...
