Boundaries in Marriage

Understanding the Choices That Make or Break Loving Relationships

De: Dr. John Townsend, Dr. Henry Cloud

Narrado por: Dr. Henry Cloud, Dr. John Townsend

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

An excellent listen, good information.

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

I have never read the book

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the straight forward way the subject was dealt with. Will definetly listen to it again.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Boundaries in Marriage?

I have been able to evaluate my personal situation and know how to make a boundary in my relationships.
