*Side hugs - no “straight on” hugs (hey, that’s practical, right?)

*No riding in a car alone with the opposite sex. (Any time a lady calls and needs a ride or something of this manner, Kevin comes home to keep the kids and I go and give the ride - or vise versa)

*Limited “one on one” meetings with ladies IN PUBLIC. If needed, she will be directed to me, another female in the church or a counselor OR she can start meeting with both myself and my husband together if she chooses. (Of course, this guideline is the way it is because we don’t have a church office.  Most meetings are at the local coffee shop.)

*We have all of each other’s passwords for Facebook, Twitter, email - accountability - some people think this is a sign of lack of trust.  Not at all - it says to us that we trust each other enough to open up all of our life to each other.  (FYI - I don’t read any personal emails from people seeking counseling or sharing private stuff.  I just notice if there are a lot of messages from any particular person - does that make sense?)

*He has given me the freedom to share with him when I think another lady is becoming “too friendly.” Guys are so dumb to this sometimes (no offense), but we ladies can spot a trouble maker a mile away!   Seriously, I’m laughing, but you know it’s true.

*We share our entire schedule every day via Google calendar or actually talking to each other (imagine that!) and let each other know if something new comes up.  We do this not just for the sake of accountability, but also because we like discovering the opportunity to share an unexpected lunch together.

*We use Covenant Eyes (an online tracker of websites visited)

*We have friends and confidants who keep us accountable and ask tough questions.
