I came across a great book recently by Ed Young Sr., of 2nd Baptist in Houston. He’s an awesome pastor and everything I know about him tells me he’s the real deal. I’ve heard him speak a few times in person, and he blows me away with how simply he is able to apply the Bible to every day life.

Anyways, here’s his “10 Commandments of Marriage“, a great tool for discussion and growth in your marriage…

  1. Thou shalt not be a selfish pit.
  2. Thou shalt cut the apron strings.
  3. Thou shalt continually communicate.
  4. Thou shalt make conflict thy ally.
  5. Thou shalt avoid the quicksand of debt.
  6. Thou shalt flee sexual temptation–online and otherwise.
  7. Thou shald forgive thy mate—490 times and more.
  8. Thou shalt keep the home fires burning.
  9. Thou shalt begin again and again.
  10. Thou shalt build a winning team.
