About this listen

Learn how setting healthy boundaries in your marriage can strengthen—or even save—your relationship with your spouse.

Most marital conflicts are boundary conflicts where one person crosses the lines of responsibility and respect. When couples learn to embrace personal responsibility and to respect each other’s freedom, love is allowed to thrive.

Whether you're happy in your marriage and want to keep growing, or if you're struggling with increasing disconnection, Boundaries in Marriage will give you the tools you need to:

  • Set and maintain personal boundaries while respecting those of your partner.
  • Understand and practice two key ingredients to a successful marriage: freedom and responsibility.
  • Establish values that form a godly structure and architecture for your marriage.
  • Protect your marriage from different kinds of "intruders."
  • Work with a spouse who is resistant to boundaries.

In Boundaries in Marriage, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the New York Times bestseller Boundaries, will show you how healthy marriages are marriages with boundaries. They promote love by protecting individuals.

Seek wisdom for my marriage

This has been a great book, it’s has helped me to see that boundaries are good to have. As I am right now separated from my wife due to things we never set up boundaries before we were married 18 years ago while dating. Coming into a family already made with my wife I should have had boundaries regarding our conversations about me and her and our conversations and communications. this has been a very tough book to go through it has opened up my eyes and I really hope that due to the things that I did in this marriage that maybe my wife and I can restore our marriage with new communications of boundaries.

This explains how to honor Christ without becoming a doormat

This book was exactly what I needed to hear to know how a wife should respond to a husband who doesn’t respect boundaries and how to have a healthy relationship that honors Christ without becoming a doormat.

Really good!

Taking into consideration that this is the short version, it offered great points and methods to follow. I’m planning to listen to the complete one for more examples.

This will be used by our family or years to come.

Loved it. Narrators are great. Stories were impactful! Should not only be viewed individually, but by our family, couples, small groups, etc.

Highly recommend!

I did not see a healthy marriage in my parents when I was growing up. Considering America's current divorce rate, I am guessing that most og us did not either. This book is a great resource to learn what to have a healthy marriage.

Shortened Version

This book is not specific enough on exactly how to set boundaries. If you’re looking for examples, this is not the book for you. I should have paid attention that this was the abridged version.

Excellent

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to improve their marriage. I liked it so much, I plan to order the unabridged version. I've read their book on boundaries and this is an great summary of how to have a healthy marriage by setting boundaries.
