About this audiobook

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.

    “Suffer long, but suffer in the right way.”

    Put forth the effort to change yourself by putting up healthy boundaries. Great book!

    This audio is a condensed version of the book. The book has a lot more material, but I personally prefer this condensed version.
    I'm giving the audiobook three stars because the Bible is used in a rather sloppy manner at times. We all interpret it in some way or another, but taking verses out of context is not helpful. Too many Christians will dismiss the book the first time they encounter a misused Bible verse.

    After 39 years of marriage, I definitely wish this had been available to us many years ago. I highly recommend that you prayerfully read this book and follow the stellar advice in unity.

    A book applying the authors' "boundaries" philosophy to the realm of marriage. There is much to commend the authors' concept of "boundaries" to marriage partners: if used properly, boundaries help each spouse recognize what they can and cannot control and to focus more inward and work to fix the self more than attempting to project on the spouse and to fix them. It can assist spouses who have difficulties in the areas of enabling, being walked over, or who constantly project all problems upon the other.On the other hand, as the authors themselves make clear, the concept of boundaries has to be used properly. They cannot be immediate ultimatiums or boundaries enforced on others. The concept of consequences as elaborated in the book make some sense but can lead to all kinds of problems in and of themselves when abused. The idea of one consequence being the withholding of sex also runs contrary to 1 Corinthians 7, despite the authors' attempts to be otherwise rather Biblical. In short, if the boundaries are established in the right way for the right reasons, things will go well. But if boundaries are established in the wrong way and/or for the wrong reasons, things could go from bad to worse. The book and concepts are worth considering, but it is even more important to check yourself at the door before establishing said boundaries.

    I really liked the book. I've struggled with putting boundaries in place in my marriage. As I've gotten older I realize I have to be honest with myself if I can initiate change. I'm going try my best to initiate what I've heard in the book. Thank you

    Helpful, but there's a lot to wade through and reconcile with your own world view if you're not Christian and the type to count to three before you react rather than citing a verse at yourself. All in all a good read though, and an interesting perspective.

    This has been my life. I have not respected my wife’s boundaries even as a Christian but this accurately described the underlying issues I’ve had and I’m willing to change now.
