109. What Are The Differences Between Rules And Boundaries... And Why You Should Consider Boundaries To Protect Your Marriage

Throughout our lives, we have many boundaries. These boundaries are in place to establish what is acceptable and not acceptable. In our jobs we have boundaries. We establish boundaries with our kids, our inlaws and other family members. We know what we can and can't do. And there are consequences for crossing those boundaries. The boundaries are there to protect everyone. So why would we not have boundaries in place in our marriage? Our marriages are the most important thing (or they should be) to protect at all costs. We posted a couple videos on social media about boundaries and it is amazing to see some of the comments. People state we are in prison and our marriage doesn't stand a chance. Other people comment on how they allow their spouse to go out with ex boyfriends and be with whomever they want because they trust them. They state that boundaries are just rules to force on someone but it is important to note that boundaries and rules are completely different. So why should we set boundaries together in marriage? What are the differences between rules and boundaries in your marriage? In this episode Nick and Amy discuss the difference between rules, and boundaries and why it is important to set up boundaries TOGETHER as a couple. If boundaries are never established, how would someone know if they are ever crossing the line? This episode will give you some great insight as to why boundaries are so important and we share some of the boundaries we have established in our marriage and how it is provided more freedom in our relationship.
