Question: How to deal with a spouse who is the sole bread earner, and his business methods are not entirely honest, as I see it? I discovered ever since I started following the ascended master’s teachings that he is at a lower level of consciousness and has grown up in a worldview that this is okay in business, and that he will not be able to earn his profit if he does not conduct the business dealings a certain way.
I feel like as his wife I am living off his earnings, even though I do not agree to his way of earning it. Do I make karma for this? I made a difficult decision to stay in the relationship for the sake of our disabled child. What do you advise would be the best way to navigate this situation so that I may fulfill my Divine plan, which I sense includes qualifying for my ascension after this lifetime?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korean Conference.
You know that we usually do not answer personal questions and tell people how to live their lives, because this is something that must come to you from within. But in this case I will say that clearly your disabled child is part of your life plan, and so you need to evaluate: If you divorce your husband, could you take care of the child while working a job? Or is this a practical reality to stay in the relationship in order to take care of the child? And does the fact that you are in the relationship and therefore do not have to work give you time and energy left over to work on your spiritual goals? In that case you could say that from a practical perspective this is the best possible solution given the situation, also the society in which you live.
Do you make karma for it? Well, that is a subtle question to answer, because if you determine that it is better for your Divine plan to stay in the relationship, then the karma you make is not a major concern. You also need to evaluate what society you are living in and how business is generally conducted there. And if your husband is not doing anything directly illegal, then again, the karma is so small that it will not prevent you from qualifying for your ascension.
But again, you need to decide on your own, and you have made a decision now. It does not mean it has to be for the rest of your life. You can once in a while evaluate: Where do I need to be in order to reach my spiritual goals.
