Boundaries in Dating unfolds a wise, biblical path to developing self-control, freedom, and intimacy. Let Drs. Cloud and Townsend help you get to know yourself, solve problems, and enjoy the journey of dating and finding your life partner.

A good smack in the face for me

This book answered all my dating questions and more. It answered questions about previous relationships and insecurities. The amount of detail and scenarios given speak clearly to me and I absolutely loved the book start to finish. I have already recommended the book when I was halfway done to several people and I plan to only do so more. Struggling in a relationship? Struggling to find a relationship? Struggling to love yourself and know your worth? Don't know what to look for? This is the book for you.

Great book!

I didn't realize how much I didn't know about dating and healthy relationships. I am very grateful to have read this book!

SELF IMPROVEMENT AND SELF PROTECTION

Author provides excellent information for self improvement in setting boundaries in communication, basic respect, sexual involvement, and other interactions from both sides-self improvement and for self protection. The use of multiple short and specific common real relationship situations are very beneficial in helping apply information provided.

There is very good advise given as to how to manage various degrees of boundary violations, as well as when and how to express one's self to the violators so as to mutually improve relationships, and how to identify when a relationship needs to be terminated or put on hold.

Each chapter has EXCELLENT "take away" summary points at the end. I would highly recommend reading these first for each chapter and then start reading each chapter so that the reader's mindset is better focused on chapter information. These also make very good refresher sections for future reference as better boundaries are implemented and personal skills are developed.

I didn't expect the biblical references that are included to enhance the topics being discussed, and in no way did I feel that they were offensive or distracted from the subject matter.

Since setting boundaries can be an ongoing self improvement, I would highly recommend owning a print copy of this book as the audio version at this time does not allow for "take away" chapter sections to be specifically identified.

Audio narrator is excellent!

Enjoy!

Great book, very helpful

Drs. Cloud and Townsend are very good at pointing out many specific areas where boundaries are needed, and the consequences that may occur if they are not put in place.

Very clear on his way to explain every scenario.

This is a must read for everyone that's thinking to date or is dating. He explains everything so well and always base his point on the word of God.
