We've been getting lots of calls lately asking for Ed's 10 Commandments to Lisa as he listed them in Love Affair - Lessons from the Ledge. Here it is, for all to enjoy!
- I shall have no other human relationships before Lisa, including the kids.
- Remember the date night and keep it holy.
- Honor Lisa on anniversaries and special days so that you may live long in the land the Lord has given you.
- I shall not take the covenant of marriage in vain by apathy.
- I shall not ride in a car or eat in a restaurant alone with a member of the opposite sex.
- I shall not travel alone.
- I shall not counsel a woman with the doors closed.
- I shall not share the details of our marriage with others.
- I shall not watch, read, or expose myself to sexual explicit shows, books, DVDs, etc.
- I shall remember the implications of breaking this covenant and commandment before God.
You can find the Lessons from the Ledge message and Love Affair series resources here. Or, check out the FREE PodCasts here on the CPBlog! And don't miss Ed and Lisa Young's new book, The Creative Marriage, for more great ideas to build a strong marriage.
Great advice. Esp. good is the one about not being alone with a women. That way, no gossip, either.

Thanks, Bernie! These commandments have been a great way to delve into what a life "beyond reproach" really looks like.
