Real life examples and actionable steps
I’m currently reading this book as part of a marriage class at my church, and itâs been a really eye-opening experience. This book dives deep into the importance of setting healthy boundaries within marriage, not in a way that divides partners but in a way that encourages mutual respect and strengthens the relationship.
What I love about this book is that itâs practical. It doesnât just give abstract advice; it offers real-life examples and actionable steps for handling common marriage challenges. It helped me see that boundaries arenât about controlling or changing your partner but about understanding your own limits and needs and communicating those clearly and lovingly. For instance, it talks about how to handle situations where one person is more giving than the other, or when different values or expectations lead to frustration.
The writing is compassionate and faith-based, so it feels like the authors really understand where couples are coming from and the unique challenges we face. Discussing it in our church group has brought up some really honest conversations, and it’s clear that many of us have struggled with setting or respecting boundaries in one way or another.
If you’re looking to deepen your connection with your spouse and build a healthier, more balanced relationship, this book is well worth the read. Itâs great for self-reflection, and even better when you can discuss it with others and learn from their perspectives too. Highly recommend for any couple, whether youâre newlyweds or have been together for years.

The best book I’ve read on marriage relationships
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.

Great Boundaries Book
I live with an emotionally abusive husband. I had tried to get him to understand how he was hurting me, but it would only turn into arguments. I finally decided to go to counseling. I learned that I had a part in the problem. I was a codependent. I needed to learn to set boundaries. However, I was alto told that my husbandâs personality was such that he would never get better and I was gently being pushed into leaving him. She asked me every week what it was going to take for me to leave him. I read this book and now I have hope again. Using Scripture, this book outlines different problems and how to set clear, fair boundaries. While Iâve just finished the book, I have already started using the boundaries. This book gives good, clear examples in a chart form that is very easy to understand. With practice and time I will get better and learn how to set good boundaries. I cannot change my husband, but with good boundaries, he can learn and change himself. If he doesnât, and some donât, then I will know I did my very best. I will also know how to deal with others in a healthy way. I no longer feel confused. I like the way this book values marriage. I had told my counselor I really wanted the marriage to work, but sometimes I didnât (when he was abusive, which was at least weekly). It also states that there are times it just doesnât work out, but if youâve learned to set good boundaries then you can accept the fact it isnât going to work.

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.

Anyone who sees someone reading this book thinks “oh, oh, somebody is going to get it”.
But this book is really about changing yourself to be a better spouse. It’s really meant to help the reader understand what appropriate boundaries are for the reader, either in what they will and will not accept from their partner, and what is and is not acceptable behaviour on their own part. It is not about changing their spouse. At times change comes in the partner by changing oneself, but that is not the point of this book.
I worked through this book with my daughter since both of us needed help in this area. The book is easy to read, and reading it together was a useful and pleasant way to spend time. We both changed and became more sure of ourselves and were able to establish better boundaries and become stronger personalities. Well worth our time; and I think a benefit to anyone who needs help in this area. 5 stars.

Such a good book! So helpful and has opened my eyes to my own issues, as well. Itâs a must read for all married couples and would be helpful for non-marriage relationships too.
