3 Things You Should Never Do With A Woman If She Is Not Your Wife
1. Never complain to another woman about your wife or let another woman complain to you about her husband.
That’s because when you complain about your wife, you’re dishonoring her; and also, because your wife didn’t give you permission. If you want your wife to respect you, you have to respect and protect her dignity. Don’t ever 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 about s3x, secrets, and struggles.
That’s because it’s none of her business, and when you talk about these intimate topics with another woman, you’re discrediting your wife. Never break the trust and intimacy between you and your wife; don’t be cavalier in your conversation with other women.
3. Never meet with women in private settings (especially online).
Keep it public so other eyes can see you. Temptation operates best in secrecy; so keep your meetings in public view.
3 Things You Can Do
1. Always mention and talk about your wife favorably.
This honors her and sets up healthy boundaries and fires off safety flares that let other women know you are taken.
2. If at all possible, invite your wife into the conversation.
Especially if the woman you’re talking to is going through a crisis. Ask the woman if it would it be okay for your wife to join the conversation or ask the woman to talk to your wife instead of you. That may not always be possible, but at least ask. Look at your wife as being added reinforcement.
3. Tell your wife about your conversations with other women.
Because this holds you accountable to your wife.
If conversing, chatting, counseling, or comforting other women makes your wife feel uncomfortable, then it should make you uncomfortable. Don’t call her crazy; instead, ask yourself, why are you more concerned 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.
