Learn when to say yes and when to say no–to your spouse and to others–to make the most of your marriage Only when a husband and wife know and respect each other’s needs, choices, and freedom can they give themselves freely and lovingly to one another. Boundaries are the ‘property lines’ that define and protect husbands and wives as individuals. Once they are in place, a good marriage can become better, and a less-than-satisfying one can even be saved. Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the award-winning best-seller Boundaries, show couples how to apply the 10 laws of boundaries that can make a real difference in relationships. They help husbands and wives understand the friction points or serious hurts and betrayals in their marriage—and move beyond them to the mutual care, respect, affirmation, and intimacy they both long for. Boundaries in Marriage helps couples: * Set and maintain personal boundaries and respect those of their spouse * Establish values that form a godly structure and architecture for their marriage * Protect their marriage from different kinds of ‘intruders’ * Work with a spouse who understands and values boundaries—or work with one who doesn’tEstablishing and understanding boundaries are crucial to the success of a marriage, according to authors Cloud and Townsend, who cowrote the award-winning and biblically-based book Boundaries. For example, boundaries help us understand where one person ends and the other begins, the authors claim: “Once we know the boundaries, we know who should be owning the problem we are wrestling with,” they write. “This issue of ownership is vital to any relationship, especially marriage.” But more significantly, couples need to claim and take responsibility for the “treasures that lie within their individual borders,” such as: “feelings, attitudes, behaviors, choices, limits, desires, thoughts, values, talents, and love.” Based on the book that elevated them to national prominence, Cloud and Townsend caution readers not to use this self-help manifesto as a means to change one’s spouse. Rather, this is a book about taking responsibility for oneself in all aspects of life, but especially within the boundaries of marital commitment.

Question: I recently started dating a guy I’ve known for a few years. It was going well, if anything a bit fast–he already started to talk about moving into my house and taking vacations together. Yesterday, he gave me a call that said he wasn’t ready for anything serious, and that he didn’t want me to be hurt if we broke up, but that he had strong feelings for me and was feeling closer, so anything was possible. He asked if I was interested in having kids and getting married someday, and when I said I couldn’t envision that, he said that could change. I really don’t get it. We talk on the phone several times a day–four times on the day he gave me that call, and he stopped by my department at work twice that day to say hi. He seems to be the one pushing for more interaction, and yet now he’s saying it’s too much. He’s also said he could see himself getting serious about me. To put this into some perspective, he is just coming off of a divorce. We do have a great time when we’re out together, but I’m utterly confused by all this inconsistency. Your thoughts?

Answer: I was going to answer forget about him and find someone more mature and ready for a serious relationship. Then I read about the divorce at the end. So it sounds like he might really be serious about you, just not yet. I have the feeling he wants to enjoy is freedom after the divorce for a little before jumping into another serious relationship.

That is understandable, however, it depends on what that freedom means. Does he want to go and have other girlfriends for a while and then settle down with you? Or does he just want to take things slow?

There’s nothing wrong with taking things slow. And as long as you spend time together, you do have a relationship. Without a serious commitment, you should set boundaries though and not cross them. One thing that comes to mind is unprotected sex. You do need a serious fully committed relationship for that. There might be another limits you can set. After all, if he does not get all serious with you, he can not have all of your benefits.

I do want to mention one thing though. If his idea of freedom means other women, don’t tolerate that. If he does not consider you worthy of a serious relationship now, he can’t expect you to sit around waiting for him.

So it does not matter if you call it serious or marriage or something, as long as he’s not seeing other women, he is yours and yours alone, no matter how much he is willing to commit.
