This is the last in a series of entries dealing with how to "affair proof" your marriage. This time I am going to list a few "do's" to help secure your marital future.
1. Do take time to go on dates! You need time away from kids, work and television so you might be focused solely on one another.
2. Do take time for romance. Dates are part of "living the romance" but so are cards, texts, phone calls, flowers and a myriad of other creative ways to let your significant other know he or she is important and that you love him/her.
3. Do pray together. The old adage "a family who prays together stays together" has a great deal of truth behind it. Praying together brings intimacy and puts God at the center of your relationship.
4. Do honor one another. Respect is an expression of love and you should always take the feelings of your spouse in account when making decisions.
5. Do have sex! Too often physical intimacy suffers at the hands of busy schedules. Sex is an important part of the relationship for a number of reasons...more than I can go into in this post! Physical intimacy helps to build emotional intimacy and protects you and your spouse from the temptation to meet this need outside of your marriage.
Just five helps to help you and your husband/wife have a healthy, happy, "affair-free" marriage. But the most important tip of all is to keep Christ at the center of your own life. If you want to love your husband or wife well make sure you love Christ first!
