Publisher's Summary

It takes two individuals to become one flesh. 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 in Marriage gives you the tools you need. Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the award-winning best seller Boundaries, show you: why boundaries are vital for a thriving, productive marriage; how values form the structure and architecture of marriage; and how to protect a marriage from intruders, whether other people, affairs, or personal idols. This audio guide helps you understand the friction points or serious hurts and betrayals in your marriage - and move beyond them to the mutual care, respect, affirmation, and intimacy you both long for.

Great Advice

So much good advice. I will need to listen over and over to be able to apply it all.

Thanks to the authors for clarifying the "whys" to help understand ourselves and other people.

It's tough to be forgiving over and over when you don't understand why someone is behaving badly.

I do understand that we all have issues. I will be really busy trying to heal my own personality flaws and hurts. This book helps to give a clearer focus to issues that can be too close to home for couples to see correctly.

I do recommend this book.

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.

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

very helpful!

This is a very fast read and helpful for marriages. I would recommend for married and premarital couples.

It's short so you won't be wasting too much time.

I kept wanting the authors to get to a deeper point. This book would better be titled "an introduction to boundaries in a Christian marriage". I'm sure there are better options for this topic.

An excellent listen, good information.

Would you consider the audio edition of Boundaries in Marriage to be better than the print version?
