Publisher's summary

This abridged audio version of the book helps you understand the friction points or serious hurts in your marriage - and move beyond them to the mutual care, respect, affirmation, and intimacy you both long for.

Read by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend.

Only when you and your mate know and respect each other's needs, choices, and freedom can you give yourselves freely and lovingly to one another.

Boundaries are the "property lines" that define and protect husbands and wives as individuals. Once they are in place, a good marriage can become better, and a less-than-satisfying one can even be saved.

Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the award-winning best seller Boundaries, show couples how to apply the 10 laws of boundaries that can make a real difference in relationships. They help husbands and wives understand the friction points or serious hurts and betrayals in their marriage - and move beyond them to the mutual care, respect, affirmation, and intimacy they both long for.

Boundaries in Marriage will help you:

• Set and maintain personal boundaries and respect those of their spouse
• Establish values that form a godly structure and architecture for their marriage
• Protect their marriage from different kinds of "intruders"
• Work with a spouse who understands and values boundaries - or work with one who doesn't

You don't have to let your marriage head toward separation or divorce. Discover how boundaries make life better today!

Real eye opener

An excellent book on the subject. Lacks a little of the basic information, but if you have the conept of boundaries, you will do well with this book.

worth listening to

I enjoyed this book very much it gave me Insight on what to do and what not to do and to set boundaries and my marriage it's a very good book I enjoyed it and I hope you will too

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 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.

An excellent listen, good information.

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.

incredible

Makes perfect sense and yet I have overlooked boundaries sadly in my marriage for far too long.

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.

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.
