I thought that this book was really good. I am going to get a couple of copies for my cousin to read before he gets married. I even hoope I can get my husband to read it but I doubt it. It has helped me to understand a lot and that will help me to "understand" him better.

One of the best books I have ever read! Really teaches how "you" can strengthen your marriage and yourself to be the person God wants you to be.

I was at the end of my rope after several years of marriage where my husband was verbally disrespecting me and disregarded most of my opinions or feelings. I was ignored for the most part and treated more like an employee than a wife. A friend recommended this book to me and I was amazed at how I had given up my personal boundaries without even knowing it! I gained some of the most encouraging insight into how to establish boundaries in a firm and loving way and, even though my husband resisted at first, he learned that certain behaviors were no longer acceptable and began to change the way he interacted with me!

Boundaries in Marriage is an excellent book for those of us who have been married for many years; It can strengthen an already good
marriage, and I would highly recommend it for premarital counseling along with the work book.

Excellent book. Had a few people tell me that Boundaries in Marriage, was based in selfishness. I didn't find that to be the case. I felt it was very balanced, and made you look at yourself and your motives.

This is a fantastic book. It really lets you know what to expect in your marriage relationship and how to be a participant in your marriage yet not enable your spouse to treat you less than you deserve. It helps make a healthy marriage relationship even though it may get rocky when you first start the principals.
