Publisher's Summary

Learn when to say yes and how to say no in the context of your marriage relationship.

In Boundaries in Marriage, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the New York Times bestseller Boundaries, teach us that healthy boundaries are the property lines that define and protect you and your spouse as individuals. Once you have them in place, a good marriage can become better, and a less-than-satisfying one can even be saved.

Boundaries in Marriage will give you the tools and encouragement you need to:

  • Set and maintain personal boundaries and respect those of your spouse
  • 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 understands and values boundaries--or with one who doesn't

It's time to deepen your love by providing a better environment for it to flourish, and Drs. Cloud and Townsend are here to help. Discover how boundaries can make life better today!

So grateful for coming across this book.

It was really timely when I started hearing the book. It really challenged my preconceived ideas and habits. Using some the strategies I was able to have a much needed review of how I had gone about handling certain situations and topics.
I throughly recommend this book.

So helpful

I liked the balance. No victim hood or labels or blaming the other. Only accountability. A book about setting boundaries from a strong, considerate, loving place.

Love the advice

it's good to be aware of what benefits our marriage and what's not. This book references the Bible a lot with many practical advices and real examples. we are not alone.

Very helpful

I found this vook help for understanding and setting up healthy boundaries in a relationship that that had many unhealthy and blurred boundaries. At times I found the male/female voices a little difficult.

Daunting

i have read around 30 books on this topic of Christian marriages. i found the narrator too theatrical and detracting from the topics, which were either not well organised or the material too wordy.
PLEASE Tell us what you're going to tell us, then tell us, then tell us what you just told us. It was doing my head in at times. i had to relisten multiple times. It became a chore.
Otoh, it does speak directly to the heart of hopeless marriages. If you can bear with distractions and take lots of notes, it is well worth saving your marriage.

Both Adult and complete?

He is forgetting that most families till now and probably beyond have not a given women that opportunity to be complete individuals. He should be teaching parents how to achieve this before telling us this. We come together as imperfect individuals who work together to become our best one together! Most of us marry before we really know anything or have achieved anything.
