8 rules guaranteed to prevent infidelity

1. I never meet alone with a woman other than my wife.

I never meet up for coffee or lunch with any woman other than my wife (or my mom) unless it’s a group setting. I’m never in public or in private alone with a woman. This policy protect me from temptation, it honors my wife, Ashley, AND it protects my reputation. Even in a counseling situation with a woman (which I try to avoid), I make sure to keep my door open. I don’t want to create a scenario where whispers of improper conduct could even be entertained.

2. My wife gets copied on all of my text messages.

Our phones are set up where we both automatically receive each other’s text messages. This keeps us in the loop of what’s happening with each other. It’s not motivated by distrust but by a desire to have total transparency and open communication in our marriage. It’s also a very practical safeguard against any form of inappropriate relationships forming. Being willing to share all of my texts also sends the clear message to Ashley and everyone else in my life that we have a marriage with no secrets.

3. I share ALL my passwords.

This flows naturally from #2 about sharing text messages. I don’t have a password or a PIN that Ashley doesn’t know. There are no hidden accounts, hidden emails, burner cell phones or anything else that would be off limits to my wife. Other than a few surprise birthday parties and gifts, we have a “Secret Free Guarantee.” In marriage, secrets are as dangerous as lies.
#4 is huge and I used to have a major problem with it…
