In this week’s 5-Minute Friday, we’re diving into a quick but powerful distinction that every couple should understand: the difference between structure and boundaries in marriage. In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the often misunderstood but incredibly important concepts of structure and boundaries in marriage. While both are essential for a thriving relationship, they serve different purposes—and confusing the two can lead to unmet expectations, emotional disconnect, and unnecessary conflict.

Whether you're newly married, in a long-term partnership, or simply want to strengthen your relationship, this episode will help you identify how structure supports the "framework" of your marriage, while boundaries protect the emotional and individual integrity of each partner.

5 minutes. One powerful perspective shift. A better marriage.
