Recently, the Lord stirred me about the institution of marriage. Since Harold and I just celebrated our 51st year of marriage … I thought this might be a good time to share.

Now understand this, I’m not sharing because I think we have a perfect marriage because there is no such thing as a perfect marriage.

As a matter of fact, Harold and I have often been asked to write a book on marriage.  But, the longer I live the less I think that I know on the subject.

What works for one couple may not work for another.

That doesn’t mean there are not obvious foundational aspects that all marriages need like love and respect. But those are obvious.

However, there are probably just as many myths about marriage as there are foundations … so I’m going to address some of those.  

Myth 1 You will just naturally get along if you are meant to be together  

Even if you know God put you together with your spouse…marriage is and always will be an ongoing work.    

Saying all that … there are certain things that can help a marriage last just as it says in Philippias 2:12-13.

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.”

10.  Quit saying "I can't" when the Word of God says, "You can." Phil 4:13

  9.  Expect a divine connection today with someone whom God will use to propel you toward your assignment.

  8.  Shouting time!!! God is bigger than every problem you will face today.

  7.  Unforgiveness and forgiveness are both seeds. Whatever you choose to sow is what you will reap.

  6.  God is not in heaven wringing His hands over your situation wondering what to do. He will show Himself mighty on your behalf.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  If you have a pulse. . .you have a purpose. . .find it. . .live it.

  4.  Don't just read the Word...LIVE IT today...as never before.

  3.  Today is a great day. . .to move from survival to surplus.

Recently, I was watching one of my favorite John Wayne movies entitled “Big Jake.”  The Duke as he was known was my favorite movie star during my formative years.  He was always the good guy.  The one who stood for what was right. . .regardless of the consequence.

My three favorite John Wayne quotes are:

# 1    “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.”

# 2    “Courage is being scared to death…but saddling up anyway.”

# 3    “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.”

John Wayne won his only Oscar in 1969 for the movie “True Grit.”  There’s a point in the movie where 14 year-old Mattie Ross says to Marshal Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne) “They tell me you are a man with true grit.”

Dictionary.com defines true grit as:

“firmness of character; indomitable spirit”

10.  The only person who can stop you from being what  God created you to be…is you. Don’t.

  9.  God takes pleasure in our prosperity…not poverty. Psalm 35:27

  8.  Praying for this to be your greatest week ever…filled with infinite possibilities, unknown opportunities & divine connections

  7.  What you do for God’s House. . .He will do for your house.

  6.  Ask God tonight for direction on unclaimed wealth, unknown ideas and unused potential.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  You cannot continually think about what was or what could have been if you want to create a new reality of what will be.

  4.  Never allow anyone other than God to determine your worth and value.

  3.  The doors of your employer’s business may close but the windows of heaven are still open over your life…if you obey His Word.

  2.  Don’t let a negative doctor’s report seize you with panic. He reports the facts but facts change. Jesus the Healer never does.

 # 1 Rich Thoughts Nugget you selected is:

  1.  You have more influence than you know…and certainly more than the enemy wants you to know. Acts 22:15.

And the # 1 Rich Thoughts Nugget you selected is:

  1.  Albert Einstein, called one of the smartest man to ever live, was called “mentally slow” by a teacher.  Only listen to what God says about you.

Webster’s Dictionary defines Success as:

“outcome, result”

A successful outcome is something that follows as a result or consequence.

According to Webster…..marketplace is defined as:

“an open square or place in a town where markets or public sales are held in  the everyday world.”         

Let’s talk about the marketplace or workplace of life…..the things we’ll discuss can apply on your job….your business or as the definition says:  the everyday world.

If you want to be a lawyer………you study law.

If you want to be a doctor or a nurse….you study medical procedures.

If you want to be a teacher……you study education.

If you want to be a hair stylist….you study cosmetology.

If you want to be successful….you study the principles of success. 

If you’ve been trying to stay afloat in the storms of life. . .if you need encouragement for the battles you’re in. . .then. . .this teaching is just for you.

Mark 4:35-40 in the Amplified Bible says:

“35 On that same day [when] evening had come, He said to them, Let us go over to the other side [of the lake].

36 And leaving the throng, they took Him with them, [just] as He was, in the boat [in which He was sitting]. And other boats were with Him.

37 And a furious storm of wind [of hurricane proportions] arose, and the waves kept beating into the boat, so that it was already becoming filled.

38 But He [Himself] was in the stern [of the boat], asleep on the [leather] cushion; and they awoke Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we are perishing?

39 And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush now! Be still (muzzled)! And the wind ceased (sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating) and there was [immediately] a great calm (a perfect peacefulness).

40 He said to them, Why are you so timid and fearful? How is it that you have no faith (no firmly relying trust)?”

No matter how spiritual you are or aren’t. . .there will come a time in your life when the storm clouds will fill your horizon, darkening the view of your destination, beating up your ship of state. . .making you wonder whether you will survive the howling winds and blowing rain of adversity.

If you draw a breath. . .you’re considered dangerous to the devil. . .you will face a crisis in life from time to time.

The question is not whether or not you will face a crisis but rather how you will respond to it.
