Marriage Bliss and Prosperity

By Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn


In order to move forward in your financial life and reach Prosperity, a minimum requirement is that everyone in your family should be on the same page, because you and your family are literally in the same financial boat, just like Noah and his family were in the ark.

Let us just imagine for a moment that this vessel has a hole under each seat. In order to keep from taking on too much water and sinking, each one of the family members must take their seat so that the holes are plugged and the ark does not sink. Likewise, each person in your family must take personal responsibility for controlling their spending so prosperity is reachable.

As a Clergy, I've spent hours counseling people I've performed the wedding, and in every case I like to talk with the couple about not only compatibility , but also their relationship with money. In my Bestselling Book Secrets of Jewish Wealth Revealed! A Road map to Prosperity I teach that if you and your partner are not in the same financial mind-frame, then chances are your marriage will fail. Financial problems are the number one cause of divorce.

In the English language, we have one word for love, which translates into our sexual drive. The ancient Greeks had more than one word for it, including the word agape.

It means to sacrifice, and it's a kind of love that I've seen in all couples who have gotten married and stayed married. It is my opinion that this kind of love determines the success of your marriage, and, it's a good part of your financial life too.

The road to prosperity always takes a little bit of sacrifice, and would be impossible to do on your own. Once you and your spouse realize that mutual sacrifice is an essential part of your marriage, you are well on your way to achieving bliss in planning for your finances together.
