We pretty much follow 2-4 without specific discussion, just common sense I guess.
1 is don’t ask don’t tell.

I used to text an old female buddy of mine. Hardly any romantic feelings (there’s always the potential for some) and mostly platonic.
We would just shoot the shite on occasion and talk about what was going on in our lives. I stopped when it was becoming obvious that the husband thought something was up.
I wouldn't have a problem if they sent messages back and forth a few times every couple of months. I would have problem if it were a daily thing.

and if we're being honest, i don't think it's the opposite sex she really needs to be concerned about...

Sounds smart to me. Each of those items have been the ruin of many a man and woman.

A couple that actually follows those "rules" don't post watermelon butt pics.

Now explain the black “community” and it’s 60 year nosedive since the destruction of the family unit.

I’d bet a year’s salad at that neither actually follow those rules.
Second, who cares. If that’s what works for them, it’s nobody else’s business.
ETA: a year’s salary not salad.

Nothing wrong with this unless it's been a very established friendship before you met your significant other. quote:

I don’t think those are ridiculous if there’s a bit of nuance. I text my wife’s friends pretty regularly but it’s usually scheduling stuff between kids if they’re with my kids and their husband isn’t.
Also that would mean I don’t develop any friendships with her friends. That would be awkward.

I don’t know about having actual rules, but I think both people have to commit to intentionally guarding their marriage.

Why the frick society needs to comment on it is beyond me
Well it looks like they (i.e. she) put it out there on social media, so in a sense they were asking for society to comment on it.
Reeks of attention seeking. Which fits given that she is 100% the one who made those rules.

I don't care how people define their relationships and boundaries but I find these types of rules odd. I see it like a dog that doesn't bite just because it is wearing a muzzle is still a biting dog.
If I can't trust you completely then I completely can't trust you. I also don't believe men can't control themselves and feel the same way about women.
I personally need complete trust in a marriage and would rather be alone than have to set boundaries that prevent innocuous things to prevent things that would be a real breach of trust.

So she’s allowed to hit you?

this couple tends to remind me of the Falwell's... uber Christian facade they show to the world, but into some pretty devious shite behind the scenes (more than likely)...

Obviously not ,but my wife is small and I would probably laugh if she did.

Not tempting yourself =\= insecurity. If more couples observed these rules, there’d be a lot less cheating.
Sure these rules may work well for most of the masses, but people with self control and even mediocre emotional intelligence don't need this tyrannical crap. These are rules for people with emotional/trust issues and no self control.
How can you even work in a modern work environment without being alone with/communicating with a person of the opposite sex?

You know, living your life single or married is not a popularity contest, nor is it a democracy to be voted upon.
It really doesn’t matter if people disapprove or approve. It’s none of their business to begin with.
I really don’t understand what makes people think it’s their business.

Her side of the bargain is she will let him keep rubbing on that luscious Booty.
