10 Commandments of Marriage
#10 Don’t compare your marriage to others’.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.” -Exodus 20:17
It’s easy to think that another couple’s marriage is perfect. You don’t see any of their dirty laundry or the struggles they have behind closed doors. You can easily be fooled into thinking there’s someone better who would make you happier, but often the someone better you’re looking for is right next to you already.

#9 Use your words to build one another up.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” -Exodus 20:16
For a healthy marriage, be a couple who looks for ways to be lifegiving with words. When friends complain about their spouses, just keep quiet. If your spouse tells you something in confidence, don’t spill it to friends. Use kind words more frequently than passive-aggressive ones and sarcasm. #10CommandmentsofMarriage #countdownto10

#8 Give more than you take.
“You shall not steal.” -Exodus 20:15
As husband and wife, there is no more “mine.” Everything we are, and everything we have is now ours. Practice “give and take”. In a life where two become one, one of the only things we still possess and can give of generously is our time. We can give of that generously by serving one another. #10CommandmentsofMarriage #countdownto10

#7 Don’t open your heart to anyone else.
“You shall not commit adultery.” -Exodus 20:14
Faithfulness is more than not cheating. Spouses who are faithful guard their hearts and minds to honor one another. That means not opening up emotionally to someone of the opposite sex and not treating each other as objects. #10CommandmentsofMarriage #countdownto10

10 Commandments of Marriage#6
Argue to understand, not to win.
“You shall not murder.” -Exodus 20:13
Sometimes we go into a fight with the goal to take the other person out, but in a healthy marriage, the goal should be mutual growth and understanding. Bring empathy into arguments in your marriage, and you’ll come out on the other side a stronger couple than ever before. #10CommandmentsofMarriage #countdownto10
