SOME PRACTICAL TIPS to help ensure that your heart does not get captured by someone outside of marriage:
1. Invest in your marriage. Have fun with your spouse! Marriage is work, but it should be fun too. Sometimes we quit having fun together. Date your spouse weekly; take an annual time away without kids.
2. Watch for red flags. Are you spending time talking to someone of the opposite sex (other than your mate) about you inner thoughts and feelings?
3. Don’t hide relationships or friendships with the opposite sex from your spouse. Make your email, text and voice messages, facebook account, and other online relationships open to your spouse. Give him/her your password, or set it up for your emails, etc. to come to him/her also.
4. Don’t have private chat sessions (online or on the phone) with members of the opposite sex.
5. Use a filter on your computer that will send addresses of sites you visit to your spouse.
