The Ten Commitments (Commandments) for Marriage

I. ”Thou shalt have no other human being before your husband or your wife.” ~ No other human being should come before your spouse – neither father nor mother, son nor daughter, brother nor sister nor other family member, employer nor employee, friend nor foe. Always seek to put each other first above any other person on earth.

II. ”Thou shalt put nothing before your husband or wife.” ~ No material things or emotional feelings that belong to this wicked world should ever come before your spouse. Whether house, work, car, pleasures, desires, money, fame, or animal, absolutely nothing!” Avoid making these things into idols or addictions, as they will rise above your spouse, and their distraction can be destructive to your marriage.

III. ”Thou shalt not belittle, criticize or find fault, but rather encourage your spouse in all ways.” ~ Honor each other with helpful deeds, sincere compliments, encouraging words, and positive thoughts; be consistent and persistent in your adulation towards your spouse. If any constructive criticism must be done, it should be done with as much positivity and love as possible. Both should take any difficult situations to GOD in prayer. Hold Him as the focal point of the marriage, make Him the third cord, only His manifold wisdom can unravel the mysteries of a successful marriage

IV. ”Thou shalt remember her/his day, to keep it special.” ~ Quality time should be set aside for your spouse, even at the expense of other important activities. Celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Your spouse and your children are worthy of your time and your undivided attention.

V. “Thou shalt give honor not only to your father and mother, but to those who become your father-in-law and mother-in-law.” ~ As you two become one, you marry into another family. Wise is the husband or wife who does not take it upon himself or herself to find fault with those who are related to their spouse.

VI. ”Thou shalt not destroy the spirit within your spouse.” ~ Husbands, do not destroy your bride’s dreams and hopes for the future which she now places in your hands, support and encourage her in her ambitions.
