The Ten Commandments of Christian Marriage, according to Ed Young and Beth Moore, are as follows:
1. Thou Shalt Not Be a Selfish Pig
2. Thou Shalt Cut the Apron Strings
3. Thou Shalt Continually Communicate
4. Thou Shalt Make Conflict Thy Ally
5. Thou Shalt Avoid the Quicksand of Debt
6. Thou Shalt Flee Sexual Temptation
7. Thou Shalt Forgive Thy Mate
8. Thou Shalt Keep the Home Fires Burning
9. Thou Shalt Begin Again and Again
10. Thou Shalt Build a Winning Team
Nine of these commandments do not actually appear in the Bible — Young and Moore invented them. But Command #6 comes straight from the Apostle Paul, in the book of 1 Corinthians, where he warns young Christian married couples not to make love. Paul explains that Christian husbands and wives ought to fast and pray, and not to think about sexual intercourse, since Jesus will be coming again, very soon, at any minute now – and would young Christian marrieds want the Rapture to take place while they were doing THAT? (1 Cor. 7:5).
In all fairness, Young and Moore note that Saint Paul does not *absolutely* forbid Christians to experience sexual intercourse. The Apostle counsels all virgin believers who are unmarried to remain chaste until the Second Coming of Christ; after which, it’s a moot point because it will then be too late for them to have a go. Paul further directs those Christians who are already married, and have already tried sex at least once or twice, to quit. The good apostle DOES, however, offer an escape clause even to young, single, Christians who have that special sparkle in their eye: “But if they cannot contain themselves,” he says, “let them marry. FOR IT IS BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO BURN” (1 Cor. 7:9).
Today, when the institution of holy matrimony is under attack from all sides – from liberals, Mormons, atheists, homosexuals, rock stars, divorce attorneys – it is good to remember Saint Paul’s defense of heterosexual Christian marriage: Brothers and sisters in Christ, holy matrimony may yet be viewed as a lawful last resort unto thee, after exercise and cold showers, in your burning lifelong struggle against masturbation.

A great book that will inspire you to grow closer and more complete with your mate. A must for all couples whether engaged or long-time married. A perfect 10 of a relationship book, emphasizes the importance of the Lord in any relationship and goes to show that unless He is the foundation of your marriage it is truly impossible to have long-term, satisfying marital bliss.

I just bought this as a wedding gift for a friend. I skimmed through it, and it looks like a good book. “Cutting the apron strings” is a good commandment for both husband and wife. It also tells you to “flee sexual temptation” from sources other than your partner. All in all, it looks like sound advice.

I haven’t quite finished this book yet but I am almost done. This book is definately worth reading, if you are married or even thinking about getting married. I can see a difference already in my marriage and I haven’t even finished the book yet. This is defnately a must read!

This book was good for a new couples Small Group. The 10 Commandments are clearly explained and will definately spark some discussions with your spouse. I recommend to read this book along with your spouse, and you will get much more out of the discussions, instead of reading it alone.
