10 Commandments of Purity

This is something I read at a marriage conference hosted by Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. I thought it was very appropriate for pastors and couples in general.

1. I shall have no other human relationships before my spouse, including the kids.

2. I shall remember the date night and keep it holy.

3. I shall honor my spouse on anniversaries and special days so that I may live long in the land the Lord has given me.

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 alone with a member of the opposite sex.

6. I shall not travel alone.

7. I shall not counsel a member of the opposite sex 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.
