I posted the following guidelines under other topics and was aksed to post it here by folks there.<P>I have several rules/guidelines that I use to protect my marriage.<P>1. I make every effort to never be alone with a member of the opposite sex.<P>2. If I find myself in this situation anyway I remove myself from it as quickly as possible.<P>3. I do not seek out or encourage relationships with members of the opposite sex. I'm not unfriendly I just keep things light.<P>4. I will not discuss my spouse, except in glowing terms, to any member of the opposite sex. I limit any conversation about any marrital problems to long time close friends or my pastor.<P>5. If I have to meet a member of the opposite sex for business purposes, we drive seperately and meet in a public place. I also tell my wife before the meeting and call her afterward.<P>Did my wife ask me to do any of these things? No! I do them becasue I recognize the dangers of opposite sex relationships and value my marriage above any short term ego stroking that this type of relationship might offer.<P>Ihope this helps some that are stuggleing to get over the "other person" or for those that want to make sure that there never is an "other person".

Just bringing this to the top.<P>Thanks Mudder
