Though Leslie was specifically talking about marriage here, I think her wisdom should be considered for all relationships. When we give people relational access to us, it should never lead to “less safety, less sanity, or less strengthening for the individuals in that relationship.” Remember boundaries don’t work when we continue to give too much access to people who aren’t being responsible with that access. And when their level of responsibility is a zero, their level of access to you should also be a zero.
