This past week I shared ten commandments of faithfulness. These ten things and probably many more have been guardrails in my marriage. Before Michelle and I ever got married we even sat down and wrote out a contract or covenant before God of what we would not do and where we would not go. I believe that piece of paper kept us from flirting with the edge and the ledge and making decisions that would scar our marriage. I believe that these decisions have done more to protect our marriage than we will ever know. Here they are:
1. I shall have no other human relationships before Michelle, including the kids.
2. Remember your date night and keep it holy.
3. Honor Michelle on anniversaries and special days so that you may live long in the land the Lord has given you.
4. I shall not take the covenant of marriage in vain by apathy.
5. I shall not ride in a car or eat in a restaurant with a member of the opposite sex.
6. I shall not travel alone.
7. I shall not counsel a woman with the doors closed.
8. I shall not share the details of our marriage with others.
9. I shall not watch, read, or expose myself to sexually explicit shows, books, DVDs, etc.
10. I shall remember the implications of breaking this covenant and commandment before God.
