3 things you should never do with women other than your wife

1. Never complain to another woman about your wife or let another woman complain to you about her husband.

When you complain about your wife, you dishonor her. If you want your wife to respect you, you must respect and protect her dignity. Never disrespect your wife by talking negatively about her to another woman. And don’t let another woman dishonor her husband by complaining to you.

2. Stay away from topics involving sex, secrets and fights.

This is none of his business, and when you talk about these intimate matters with another woman, you discredit your wife. Never break the trust and intimacy between you and your wife; don’t be cavalier in your conversations with other women.

3. Never meet women in a private setting.

Temptation works best in secrecy, so keep your encounters in plain sight. I know that sometimes this isn’t always possible, but I’ll give you some tips on how to do this below.

3 things you should do with your wife

1. Always mention and talk about your wife in favorable terms.

On one hand, this honors her and on the other hand, it sets healthy boundaries and triggers what I call safety signals that let other women know you’re taken.

2. Whenever possible, invite your wife into the conversation.

Especially if the woman you are talking to is going through a crisis. Ask the woman if she can join the conversation or ask her to talk to your wife instead of you. This isn’t always possible, but at least ask. Consider your wife as an extra backup.

3. Talk to your wife about your conversations with other women.

This makes you accountable to your wife.

If conversing, gossiping, counseling or comforting other women makes your wife uncomfortable, then it should make you uncomfortable. Don’t call her crazy, but rather ask yourself why you care more about how the other woman feels than how your wife feels.

Honor your wife in everything you do, especially when it comes to talking to other women.
