The 10 Commandments of Marriage

I. Thou shalt learn the true meaning of married love. Love has to be sacrificial, never selfish, caring, unbreakable, respectful, and where Jesus is ever present.

II. Thou shalt forget your dreams of a perfect marriage and work on a good marriage. Accept the limitations of your spouse. The successful marriage works around that. Be patient with defects in your spouse and concentrate on his/her good qualities.

III. Thou shalt discover the particular needs of your spouse and try to fulfill those needs with joy. There cannot be a 50/50 split rule in giving to your spouse. Give as much as you can to the one you love.

IV. Thou shalt show praise and appreciation to your spouse rather than look for it for yourself. Praise your spouse in front of others and defend your spouse in front of others.

V. Thou shalt forget the desire to control or dominate your spouse.

VI. Thou shalt greet your spouse wth joy and affection. Your spouse is your number one concern.

VII. Thou shalt abandon all hope of changing your spouse through nagging or complaining. Patience and grace with prayer, sacrifice, and penance is needed to change a spouse.

VIII. Remember the importance of unimportant details. That is how you should express love and concern to your spouse.

IX. Know how to say. "I am sorry" AND, mean it. Know how to accept forgiveness graciously.

X. Pray TOGETHER every day. Accept your spouse's level of spirituality.
