Boundaries in Marriage

Understanding the Choices That Make or Break Loving Relationships

By: Dr. John Townsend, Dr. Henry Cloud

Narrated by: Dick Fredricks

Length: 9 hrs

Publisher's summary

Learn when to say yes and when to say no to your spouse to make the most of your marriage.

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 bestseller 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!

Good Perspective

This book was good. Interesting, well taken advice from a biblical perspective. In retrospect, I think I would have liked a hard copy of this book since I am the type a person that likes to highlight and mark books like these to use for future reference. I am sure I will listen to it again.

Excellent book!

This book is extremely beneficial for all types of relationships....Work, friendship, marriage, parents and siblings.

read it and grow.

if you have desire to want to fix your marriage and your foundation is belief in God, then this will work if you work at it( assuming both of you are biblical believers or folks who really love each other and need a serious breakthrough ).

best boundaries book

every mature married person should read or listen to this book. It is eye-opening, it is refreshing, it is empowering, it is challenging.

Life saving

This book will likely save your marriage and in a few cases, can save lives. Everyone should read/listen to it and take care to apply it properly. Wow. Wish my parents had this book long ago, but at least I can get prepared for my future.

Eye Opening

This is the best book I have ever read. I will be hearing it again until it becomes a habit. Really life changing.

Well written.

Wonderful and informative.
Definitely a book to keep around
to help with marriage, love, friendships.

Awesome book on marriage! A++++

I love this book. Really focuses on keeping our judgement out of marriage and look at ourselves and what we need to change to bring a whole person spiritually and emotionally into our marriages as 2 whole persons become one in marriage. If one spouse is not healthy emotionally the 2 can not become one in a way. Very important point. Also, that when we enable our spouse by trying to change them and stop focusing on ourselves we prevent our own growth and the relationship suffers. This book was so insightful the best I have read on marriage.
