It's no secret that far-right-leaning Christians put particular focus on the fear and prevention of infidelity.

You don't have to look farther than their TikTok accounts to see that some couples are following strictly enforced rules in their marriage to avoid the temptation of cheating.

She then goes on to detail some of the "boundaries" that she and her husband have set in place.

She starts by explaining, "Rule number one is we're not allowed to sit beside the opposite sex in any of our classes."

And if you think that's controlling, buckle up.

Not only can they not sit beside a member of the opposite sex, but they're also not allowed to engage with someone of the opposite sex during any online school discussions.

That means potentially sacrificing grades to avoid an interaction!

Jojo then offers people an example.

"Last night, Tucker saw this really good discussion board [post] by a girl named Riley, and I was just like 'I don't really feel comfortable with that,' so, yeah, he didn't respond to her."

Both Tucker and Jojo are on board but is it too much?

There are a million red flags with the first two "boundaries" Jojo and her husband Tucker have set.

Starting with the controlling element and working all the way up to assuming people's genders.

Rule number three is harder to stick to

But that's not where it ends. The couple's third boundary is almost more surprising.

Jojo admits that "Rule number three is kind of hard to stick to" before describing the final boundary.

They must only take classes taught by professors of the same gender as them

The young woman then says, "we try our very best to only have professors of the same gender as us."

This one is almost as ridiculous as it is impossible!

Jojo admits, "I do have one male psychology professor, but Tucker usually sits in on that class with me."

Ah, yes, because there is nothing weird or controlling about that. Commenters felt like this rule is where things went from believable to completely unhinged.

They must always mention they are married during introductions

The fourth and final boundary that Jojo outlines is a more straightforward one and potentially the most normal of them all.

Both Jojo and Tucker must mention that they are married during their first day of class introductions.

Some people supported Jojo but most commenters were skeptical

Although these rules might sound extreme to some, viewers who grew up in a conservative Christian community could relate to the boundaries the young couple supposedly stuck to.

On the flip side, other people don't buy the whole story.

Some people accused her rules of being fake

TikTok users left judgmental comments calling out the creator for "faking" her rules and even her marriage.

The rules seemed so extreme to some that they could only be satire. But based on Jojo's social media, she's dead serious about her and her husband's well-defined boundaries.
