About this listen

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!

It is good to hear advice that is not all about the submitting and taking abuse, on the other hand it’s great to hear how not to end a marriage at difficult hurdles because sometimes in marriage you do question why your married to this person.
Boundary setting has been a life changer and has deepened my connection with my husband.

Very interesting

I like Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. They know exactly what they are writing about in regards to boundaries. If you are married I encourage you to buy and to listen to this audiobook. If you are single then I still encourage you to buy this audiobook and listen to it. It will give you some ideas of what couples go through in marriages, should you decide that at some point you want to get married. ;}

Firstly this book is written by a Christian and contains wisdom from the Bible. As a Christian myself I don’t find this offensive, if you’re not a Christian yet you won’t be sensitive to, or offended by his Christian worldview, then give this self help book a go.

I’m married 9 years, got married fairly young and through a difficult childhood I came into my marriage not really understanding what boundaries are, or how to apply them. I recently discovered the effects of childhood on my character now and how they haven’t been the best traits to walk through a marriage in a healthy way.
I’ve confused biblical submission with compliance due to my insecurities and need for love, and consequently haven’t been a good helpmate for my husband in confronting immaturity in him, out of fear of neglect etc.
Forming boundaries seem to be about, freedom, love and self control. I had misconceptions about boundaries, always thinking that they made people rather aloof and unloving.
This book isn’t about manipulating your spouse, it’s not about changing them, it’s about taking ownership of your own feelings, actions etc. It’s about giving your spouse the freedom also to do what they want, yet having a marriage which displays healthy consequences.
I have a very loving and committed marriage, YET it truly isn’t enough to flourish together. Boundaries as explored in this book are a healthy way to love from freedom and not from control or fear.
I immerse myself in Christian theology and practice etc, yet I honestly have never heard in all 11 years of being a Christian and 9 married this approach to a healthy marriage. I’m shocked and think this book is much needed in many Christian circles. Submission has been made to look rather ugly at times and leadership too, I’m so thankful to Cole across this book!

Common problems we had in the marriage stated as examples in the book. And learn so much all these can be prevented from taking ownership of ourselves. Changed my perspective in a lot of things! A very good read!!! Recommend it to anyone!

Great Insight on Marriage

I read this in the same week as Keller on marriage and Gottman’s 7 principles. In comparison, it felt like a sensible theoretical concept rolled too thinly into an overly long book with some verses added in as an after thought. I’m so sorry if it is indeed so much more than that and hope it has been a help to others. I felt eg chapter 16 on punishment for failure to comply risks being greatly misused. Our marriage is better than ever praise God and we didn’t need anything from this book. May it help others.

Clearly written by men
