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!

Plus, check out Boundaries family collection of books dedicated to key areas of life - dating, raising kids, parenting teens, and leadership. Workbooks and Spanish editions are also available.

Best marriage advice book I've ever read/heard - only regret is not reading it at the start of (or before) my marriage!

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.

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.

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.
