As a guest on The Rich Life Show, chatting with host Beau Henderson, I was reminded of the importance of boundaries in a marriage or in a significant relationship. I said that good boundaries make healthy relationships.
What does the term boundary mean? A boundary is a limit you can set (physically, emotionally, and mentally) to protect yourself from being violated by others. You can think of it as a fence around yourself. It is invisible, but it separates you from others. Inside the fence is what you think and feel. Outside the fence are the thoughts and feelings of others.
You begin life as an individual. You have your own distinct emotions, needs, and preferences. In setting your boundaries, you preserve your integrity, take responsibility for who you are, and take control of your life.
Have you taken a look lately at your personal boundaries? If so, are you satisfied with what you see? Some suggestions for building and preserving boundaries are the following:
Boundaries are good for all of us. They define who we are and what we are. The better constructed our boundaries are, the stronger we will be as individuals. Individuals with a strong sense of self are better able to be in intimate relationships. Couples with healthy boundaries will reap the benefits of a lasting union.
