singles and couples alike
I read this book not because I am married, but because I'm not. Boundaries change when the level of intimacy in a relationship changes. For those friendships you've "had forever" or when you feel married to your job, I found many marital boundaries apply to those situations as well.
And to anyone about to walk down the aisle, congratulations! This is a "good read" before the big day.

This book is okay. The workbook helps and is insightful if you want to put the effort into it. I find the other book about boundaries, entitled Boundaries and found in my book list, to be more thorough. But this book is still a good read for individuals who want to promote healthy growth---since smooshing anything--plants or spouses--never allows for anything to grow and flourish...

I bought this book at a mops garage sale last year. I was in need of help with in-laws. And I used this book as a guide to deal with them not my husband. On how to put boundraries on them. I dont know if it all worked. But I felt like I had ideas on what to say to them without starting fights. But I have yet to use them since Joe talks to them and not me.

I was impressed with this book. I was expecting a book that would give me direction on how to set boundaries within marriage, but I was glad to also see Cloud/Townsend guide readers to acknowledging their own responsibilities within marriage while relating principles taught in the Bible.

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.

One of the single most useful books I've ever read! Beware: this will not help you fix your spouse. It will help you fix yourself.

Read this the year before Keith and I got married. It's very good and totally relateable.

I found this book to be a much more helpful read than the original 'Boundaries'.
