What if My Spouse Doesn't Believe in Prosperity?

I’ve had this question come in time and again about how much our thoughts can influence a situation if our spouse’s thoughts do not support our own. If we shouldn’t manipulate another person’s free agency, how does this all work in a marriage if both parties are not on the same page?

Some people have a gift of strong faith, and others must struggle to develop it. If you have an easier time with it than your spouse, it may be your role to encourage, inspire, and exercise patience. Your challenge will be to demonstrate faith in SPITE of your spouse's doubt. See how we grow? Even those who have a natural tendency for faith will be tested.

Remember: positive, faithful thoughts are multiple times more powerful than negative ones. Your spouse’s negative thoughts will not sabotage yours so long as YOU maintain a peaceful expectancy for that which you seek. PEACEFUL expectancy for prosperity... not manipulative!!!

Picture your spouse happy. Feel the relief and gratitude you expect to feel when things are better. Imagine the prosperity. As the nature of your thoughts improve from critical to cheerful, the general feeling in the home will improve… and you’ll find that the rising tide lifts ALL ships.

Your vision won’t force your spouse to change, but it could create an energy in the home that inspires it to happen. It might help your spouse feel better about his/her challenges. Once s/he feels a little better, and begins to imagine the possibilities, opportunities will naturally follow, by the law of attraction.

Wives, if your main concern is that your spouse doesn’t provide well enough, you must focus on the “why” you want him to have a better job, because if the “why” is what you’re after, the “how” may end up being something you never even thought of. It could happen without a different job. The job itself could morph, or some other opportunity may come along.

Your thoughts do have power to bring him opportunities… but he’s the one that has to choose whether or not to take them. Bottom line, focus on the picture of your life the way you want it, and don’t worry about him… because if you attract the opportunities, and he chooses not to take them, you’re setting yourself up for frustration.

Ask him whether or not he minds if you try to picture a better opportunity on his behalf. He may be more supportive than you think, and may end up testing the principles for himself as he sees things work for you. Best of all, you’ll begin to work together as one to achieve common goals. There is little else more powerful than that.

In fact, you may even be turned on to a way to get what you need without a change in his income. Trades, gifts, odd windfalls… keep an open mind. As Wattles puts it, you “image” the thing, and the Universe will find the most efficient way of bringing it to you. Don’t pinch off the possibilities by deciding how it has to happen. You need to have fun daydreaming AND at the same time, relax about the “how”.

Above all, be open minded and grateful for however things line up. Let your “statement” include something about how grateful you were at how easily the opportunity presented itself, and that it was something your hubby could be excited about. (“Could” being the key word here; it will still be his choice.)

If he doesn’t respond the way you hope, be grateful anyway, trusting that God is leading the both of you along to learn the lessons He has in mind for you. Count it all a blessing.

In summary…

How to blow it: picture what you want, and wait for your husband to make it happen. (You’ll end up in a negative “vibration” that will repel the things you want.) You’ll drive BOTH of you crazy if you’re always measuring his behavior against your goals.

How to succeed: picture what you want, see the prosperity in your mind, and enjoy the daydream, and then take the actions that come to YOUR mind. Trust God to inspire your mind to show you exactly what you should do next. You’ll be shown how to meet your obligations and thrive, all the while maintaining the values that are most important to you.
