Boundaries in Marriage MP3 CD – Unabridged, May 6, 2014

If you have sucky boundaries in your marriage, this book is a must. Would highly recommend reading it!

There are so many misconceptions about marriage, submission, love, freedom which are accepted by people nowadays. This books gives an honest Biblical, down-to-earth and working perspective on these topics.It could really save your marriage.

Why is this the best book I've read on relationships?1. I can see my own past relationship shortcomings as well as my former wife's. This is very humbling. Though I initiated my divorce for valid reasons, I can see more clearly where I failed to take responsibility for improving my marriage. I can also see where I took responsibility for her issues and should have asked her to take responsibility for her own attitudes and emotions.2. I can see what it takes for a successful marriage. This is very daunting to me. As a divorced man I am very comfortable. Do I really want to love someone so much, as God loves us, that I would love them through every one of their mistakes, including infidelity? I really don't know if I'm ready to do that, which is partially why I choose to remain single. I'm just not sure I can actually live up to that standard of love.3. This is the most "nutrient-dense" book I've read on relationships. I wish all marriage counselors applied these principles as directly as they are outlined in this book. Frankly we could have gotten to the heart of the issues much more effectively with a lot less frustration by me and my former wife.4. Unlike marital counseling or therapy, this book gets directly to the issues. If a counselor used these principles they would be much more effective.I can barely put this book down because it resonates as being completely true. I believe this is God's way, as he set the example for good relationships for all of us. I have invested hours reading and taking detailed notes.This book is either going to make me the most prepared man for marriage, or it's going to scare me away from wanting to ever make that commitment again. I really don't know how it's going to go for me, but I am enjoying learning about what a successful marriage requires.This is one of two relationship books that I will give to each of my adult children, who are all unmarried. The other book is "Boundaries" by the same authors. Between these two books I think they could solve a lot of marital problems if the principles are applied by spouses.If you are sincerely interested in having a healthy marriage, either now or in the future, I encourage you to read this book. If both partners follow what's taught in this book, you'll save hundreds of dollars, if not thousands, in counseling.

Easy read

A Very Useful Book, But You May Still Need a ProReviewer: siddheartha from Warren, MI USAThis is a very good book about boundaries.Yes, it is steeped in Christianity. If you are a Christian, that is a very big plus and will make this book even more helpful. However, if you are not, you can still get great value from this book.This book will teach, giving examples, about building appropriate boundaries in your marriage. If you are not married you can still prepare. Starting with good, strong boundaries will help you pick a better mate (for you), and make for a stronger marriage, too.If you are in a troubled marriage, it may be difficult to use this book. If the good will in the marriage has headed south, get a marriage counselor who is familiar with the book and willing to help you both build better boundaries.Those with good boundaries are the happiest people.Good luck! Enjoy.Oh, why not 5 stars? It is a well-written book. The examples are mostly useful. And as much as I like the reliance on Christian values, the book leans on them too much.It is a very subjective thing. So I can understand most people give 5 stars.

Every couple should read this book before they get married. They should go back and review this book every 5 years.

My husband and I have started reading this book a little bit at a time and it brings up some really good discussions. We're both learning what boundaries TRULY are.. and they are not what we think they are per say. I wish I would have know some of this material early on in my marriage, but it's never to late to learn. I truly recommend this book!

This is such a great book that not only summarizes their previous book, Boundaries, well, but also dives deeper specifically into the marriage relationship. This book will help you grow and change in valuable ways.

Everyone should read it as it is important to know your boundaries. Life saver

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has taken me x2 attempts to read but I'm grateful I persisted. Boundaries inside the marriage to deepen the relationship and keep the love thriving. This book and Danny Silk 'Keep Your Love On' are so important in a Christian marriage. May God help is all on this journey called marriage.

Some stories are related in some situations and some has no application...but its a good read.

This book among others is keeping me focused on my personal growth, assisting me to grow out of fears and habits that I've tolerated for to long

This book was my first contact with the topic of boundaries.I consider it to be a study book and i learn a bit at the time and then practice it long in real life to master the skills.It is a fantastic and comprehensive take on the topic, not only for marriage.Other 2 books by the same authors: Boundaries and Boundaries for kids equally brilliant.Highly recommended for people who look how to improve their lives and are tired of reacting the same in stressful situations, but find it hard to come up with solutions by themselves.
