Boundaries In Marriage Book Review

This is an excellent book that well illustrates not only how your your willingness to put up with the character flaws of another will affect a relationship (whether in marriage or not!), but also how their willingness to put up with your character flaws will affect the same relationship.
Gone are the days of 'the quality of the relationship is the responsibility of only one party, YOU,' which I never did quite understand, and welcome the day of each party being held responsible for their own acti...more

Life-changing! This is a must-read for anyone who is married - just beginning, coasting along well, hitting a rocky patch or considering ending. Very practical, spiritual AND clinical advice about behaviors, cause, effect and solutions. WARNING: Be prepared to really confront your own thoughts, actions and motives.

I'm not a religious person and this book is filled with quotes from the Bible in every chapter. However, it was indeed helpful in trying to understand the errors we make in a relationship and it provided practical ways in which to better the situation at home. Very helpful and insightful.

This is one of the best marriage books that I have ever read. I love the entire boundaries concept. The only reasons that I didn’t give it five stars is because it would be almost impossible to outdo the original “Boundaries” book. Secondly, there was a small section in chapter 14 where the author seemed to humanize God a little bit. Although I don’t think that was his intention, as a Pastor I’m very picky about that. Overall I would definitely recommend this to couples thinking about marriage,...more

Really good stuff here. Highly recommended for newly married couples. Takeaway: boundaries are for the person seeing them, they're not a method of forcing behavior in someone else.

I wish I had read this when I had first got married. I picked this up mostly because the hold list at the library for the boundaries with kids was too long. I am so glad I did because it has already helped me be a better wife. I got a lot out of the first half of the book. The second half is for troubleshooting problems and stuff and that didn't apply to my marriage as much.
Some great points I took away:
you marry someone not to complete you but to complement you. Both partners need to be whole p...more

This is a hard book to rate for me. I love it and at the same time feel meh about it.
Disclaimer - I have not read the original Boundaries book.
There are so many good principles here and awesome quotes! Just for the quotes alone this book is worth the read!
I guess I just feel like there's a bit of mixed messages in this book. They try to really emphasize great things like:
* The need to set boundaries only on yourself, not on other people
* To not misuse boundaries to try to control someone or to h...more

The only reason I gave this book two stars is because there are some okay stories of couples and how they worked through various things. However, the book just barely gets that second star, because overall its cloying, sanctimonious, religious overtones were an overpowering cologne. For example, the authors constantly take credit for their patients' successful therapy outcomes -- 'I was able to show them that these are areas of 'preference,' not right or wrong.' Or 'We cured her 'workaholism.'...more

I loved this book! I do not give five stars to many books, but this book is worth every star. It is what I've been looking for, praying for, and longing for for years. It answers troubling questions, and gives hopeful, helpful, healthy advice to struggling marriages, especially when you have no idea how to fix what's wrong. It should be required reading for every newly married couple, as it would significantly reduce the divorce rate in our churches, if not our country. I highly recommend Bounda...more

I feel like I need to immediately read it again. I've read Boundaries, and it was life changing. This book helped me apply that to my marriage, and gave me a much-needed slap in the face on how I was deceiving myself from reality of how my actions were effecting others. READ IT!! Seriously, even if you're not a Christian, it has very real principles.

This is a terrific book, discussing many aspects of marriage and not just boundary setting. I borrowed it from my local library, but I'd like to buy my own copy so I can read it again and apply it more effectively to my own life.

I learned a lot from reading this book. They had good stories to illustrate their points as well. I liked their idea that it takes individual people to make a marriage, and that each partner needs to claim their own stuff. No problem is 100% one person and 0% the other. Pretty good stuff.

Great book. Highly recommend it. I've avoided reading books on Marriage & Family after being snowed with it during school. Great resource, and works with a variety of concerns and situations. Excellent.

I like this book better than I thought. It started off a bit vague, but quickly started to come together. It has been probably the best marriage book I've read next to For Women Only.

Highly recommended, especially to those who have been brought up with a traditional understanding of marriage roles. This study provides a much needed balance.

I'm glad I read an online version of this, because the cover pictured here looks pretty hideous. But the content is helpful to people dealing with any number and severity of marital issues. I definitely recommend this as a marriage book. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I thought the writing wasn't very clear in two sections.

This book was written for a practicing Christian audience. Despite not being a member of this group, I did derive good lessons and insights from reading it. Dr Cloud and Dr Townsend start out introducing the concept of boundaries and advise the individual that personal growth and development is essential to ensuring a healthy relationship. I learned a lot about myself through the pages that followed, places where I can improve in romantic and platonic relationships. They encourage taking all ste...more

Christian advice on marriage. Not terrible advice even if you're not Christian (or are Christian but are dubious of Biblical marriage advice). Focuses on how to respect each other and cultivate real love based on mutual respect and empathy. There was nothing novel for me but clearly, a lot of people could benefit from these views.

May 25, 2019Elizabeth rated it it was amazing · review of another edition

Lots of wisdom and practical advice in this book. A boundary is something you set for yourself (not against other people). It goes over a lot what you are responsible for including your feelings, attitudes, choices, values and behaviors.
I read this book for over a year. We started reading it and going over it with another couple but didn't finish it together. I'm glad I finished it.

I'm declining to rate this book because I feel that my own ambivalence towards God as a tool leveraged against mundane problems and my own emotional turbulence around the subject of boundaries make me hopelessly biased away even from my baseline level of objectivity. I will give a brief review.

Don't be fooled by my rating. There is a lot of good information in this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is in a committed relationship or who is ever thinking of it. (It would actually be a four-star rating if Goodreads' system allowed finer grading, like 3.5 or 4.5 stars. Because an 'excellent but not perfect' has to be given four stars instead of 4.5, this book has to be given three to keep things fair.)
The book is full of good information and illuminating examples, even if many of...more

All throughout reading this book, I knew something was just really bothering me about it. I think I discovered that it was because although the writers of this book are Christians, they are primarily writing their views from a psychological standpoint, since both of them are psychologists. Therefore, when they brought in verses from the Bible, it seemed more obligatory the way they just slapped verses onto what they were saying. It wasnt biblical exegesis at all. Instead, they relied upon exampl...more

I read this book as a possible tune-up or refresher course, so to speak, for a marriage that brings us both very much joy already. In reading the various scenarios, I was able to make peace with many old hurts from previous relationships and to see my part in their demise as well. Some of the cases were almost verbatim stories I had either experienced myself or heard from others: right on! I wish I had read this book 20 years ago, as I can see how ignorant I truly was about boundaries: what they...more

Audiobook. Great narration. I really wish there was an agnostic version of this book as it is *really* biblical but I think it also has some of the best information about setting boundaries and limits in marriage. I liked the part where they talked about different kinds of unfaithfulness, like how bringing a 3rd party into your marriage by talking to a friend instead of your spouse is damaging to the relationship, how withdrawing from conflict is being unfaithful, how losing yourself into addict...more

“God's solution for 'I can't live that way anymore' is basically, 'Good! Don't live that way anymore. Set firm limits against evil behavior that are designed to promote change and redemption. Get the love and support you need from other places to take the kind of stance that I do to help redeem relationship. Suffer long, but suffer in the right way.'

An excellent marriage book, and the concepts bleed over into other relationships beyond marriage -- parenting, friendships, extended family etc.
One concept that stuck out to me is that you cannot control others, you can only control your response to their actions. That definitely is important to hear if you tend to be manipulative or controlling. (Ack!)

It was useful, but very dry. A little humor would go a very long way to improve this book in my opinion.

Apr 11, 2018Kathleen rated it it was amazing

This book is so helpful! It just gives language to a lot of issues that come up in a marriage, and tools to deal with conflict in a healthy way. Healthy for each, whole, individual person, AND healthy for the marriage. Based in the truth that each partner in a marriage is a whole person, beautifully and uniquely created by God, and each brings his/her own strengths and failures to the relationship. It encourages grace, forgiveness, and honesty, even when things are difficult. Highly recommend!

It is okay. There is some good information on how to reflect on your own part in issues however I am more of a concrete kinda gal. I need specific plans and ideas and help. This was general and assumes the mate will magically come around to a change of heart or, well good luck with that and bless you for sticking with it anyway.

Excellent book for not people in Marriage but leaders as well. Boundaries are the difference that help you thrive. We need them in friendships, marriages, work and life balance!

Why you shouldn't threaten anyone ever - also, autonomy and self-assuredness.

Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend are truly inspirational authors. I didn't really know what 'boundaries' were before starting this book. I saw quickly just how powerful they can be for a well-ordered life. I know this is going to be a great tool for improving my marriage and becoming the husband God made me to be.

Apr 14, 2013Chrystal rated it really liked it

My mom wanted to discuss this book with me because it has really helped her. I think it is fantastic! Everyone in a serious relationship should read it to find out if you and your partner are boundary lovers or boundary busters. Life is just better with healthy boundaries and communication!

Helpful and informative, but less well written than the original boundaries books.

Learning to value others as separate and distinct individuals. You complete me? Hollywood Hogwash.

Another practical and useful book for marriage.

Most helpful book on marriage I've read yet
