Happy Valentine’s Day!
Saw this in The Nation and thought it was interesting……but two questions:
#1. Does this mean I now have to follow 20 commandments?
#2. Doesn’t the Culture Ministry have anything better to do?

Loving by the rules
The Culture Ministry has launched the ‘10 Commandments of Love’ in an attempt to prevent teenagers getting too carried away on Valentine’s Day. They are:
1. Love with patience, so as not to become a premature parent
2. Truly love only one person
3. Love with mercy, trying not to hurt the one you love
4. Carefully love to avoid taking risks that might lead to contracting sexual diseases
5. Love with honour, waiting until the proper time to have sex
6. Love in accordance with custom
7. Love reasonably, not taking sexual advantage of your lover
8. Love permanently, without defaming the one you love
9. Love honestly, believing in your partner
10. Love with understanding, forgiveness and without anger
