Boundaries In Marriage
Two Christian Psychologists look at establishing healthy interpersonal patterns in the marital relationship.  Two lives becoming one:  That`s the marriage ideal.  But maybe you`ve discovered that it`s easier said than done.  That`s why boundaries - the ways we define and maintain our sense of individuality, freedom, and personal integrity - are so important.  And it`s why the principles described in Boundaries in Marriage are essential if you want your marriage to flourish.  Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the award winning best-seller Boundaries, show you:  Why boundaries and the "Ten Laws of Boundaries" are vital for a thriving, productive marriage, how values form the structure and architecture of marriage, how to protect a marriage from intruders, whether other people or personal idols, why each partner needs to establish personal boundaries - how to go about it, and how to work with a spouse who understands and values boundaries - and how to work with one who doesn`t.  Boundaries in Marriage helps you understand the friction points or serious hurts and betrayals in your marriage - and move beyond them to the mutual care, respect, affirmation, and intimacy you both long for.
