Everyone can be in a passionate, loving relationship [music] with one person the rest of your life, but you just have to have the wisdom. Hi, this is Coach Rner [music] and today we're going to talk about the ten commandments of marriage. You know, it's interesting. When Moshe comes down from the mountain, he comes with two tablets. Why didn't he come with one? Well, one of the reasons is because it would show that there's an order to each of the commandments, but as we know, they're all important.

So we have action, we have speech and we have thought. Now just like the ten commandments is about relationship with man and God, we also have relationships with our spouses.
