The 3 Fundamental Laws of [Marriage] Success

I get so much value from the work of Dr. Benjamin Hardy on YouTube.  He is perhaps the most driven, focused, goal-oriented success story I have ever encountered, and every time I listen to him speak I end up with three or four more books on my must read list.  I’m going to borrow from his video I just watched yesterday called THE 3 FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF SUCCESS. His three principles, my commentary.  And what does this have to do with marriage?  Listen on, sister.PRINCIPLE # 1: WE NEED A PURPOSEFUL, COMPELLING FUTURE.  The quote that Dr. Hardy kept coming back to is this one by Friedrich Nietzsche: “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”This was also quoted by Dr. Viktor Frankl in reference to his time in a Nazi concentration camp.Goodness, Summer, you brought up concentration camps in your last episode.  This podcast is getting really depressing.Fair point.  The reason I bring them up is that they really give the person quoting some street cred. When they speak of suffering you KNOW they’re not just talking about bunions or bad gas.  When someone like that tells you you can bear ANY how, as in ANY circumstances, they have some strength in their case.Thank you so much for listening.  I am so grateful for you.  I would love to meet up and talk with you.  I always learn so much from people’s stories, whether or not you join my program, so if you haven’t met with me yet for a complimentary session, please send me a message and get on my calendar, because there is no pressure to enroll and I will help you create that purposeful, compelling future that can be your guiding light for this new year beginning today.And you and your marriage will never be the same.
