Lots of religious tangents that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic. However, if you can sift through all the dogmatic rhetoric and identify the portions written from the author's professional experience, you'll find a few really awesome nuggets that will have a positive effect on your relationships.

The book was as described except that the cover was very dirty, grimy actually, and that wasn't mentioned in the description. I wiped it off with a disinfectant wipe and it cleaned up to an acceptable lightly stained condition. It would have been nice if they would have done that before shipping it to me.

The buck stops here! After reading this book, I was provided with tons of reminders and examples of setting boundaries in marriage. it's healthy to have boundaries and protect the sanctity of you. An excellent resource!

This is a great book! I have the audible version and the workbook but found that there were times when working through the workbook that I needed to be able to look things up. I would highly recommend this book for both couples who have a great marriage and those who are struggling.

When I first started reading this book at the request of our marriage counselor, I didn't think it really applied to me or our marriage. I'm glad I kept reading. I soon discovered it has everything to do with our marriage. Not fun to read with only yourself in mind, but certainly worth it.

Having just finished this book, it has changed the way I view my relationships. Not only my marriage relationship but also my family,work and friends. It all begins with me which is all that I have control over. I am not talking about being selfish but doing so out of a humble spirit. I plan on rereading this book to help it sink in.

The Boundaries in Marriage book and study by Cloud and Townsend is a wonderful study for newly married couples, long-time married couples and even engaged couples. To learn how to relate to our spouses in healthy ways--owning our feelings and attitudes but not accepting responsibility for theirs can be a very freeing concept once practiced. That is just one of the 10 "Laws of Boundaries" taught in this book and study--the other nine also have the potential of helping to create strong, healthy relationships if put into practice.

Anyone who has benefited from any of the other Boundaries books by these authors will also gain some helpful tools for marriage in this book.

I have nothing but great things to say about this book. It was recommended to me by a friend who saw that a lack of knowing how to set Biblical boundaries was killing me. Literally my body was exhausted and my mind as well. 3 chapters in I was like Hallelujah I can do this. And so I started and I feel freer

Excellent common sense advice about the integrity of the individual in marriage, often ignored in unhealthy relationships. The book illustrates well how people attempt to control their partners, not respecting their right to be an individual, and how destructive this is to relationships.

Although I have no issue at all with the message of the book it is probably twice as long as it should be and not well written. There seems to be a compulsive need to quote Bible texts, most of which are completely not applicable or misquoted. Almost all seem unnecessary. Had the authors stayed away from trying to bring God into everything, this would have been a much better book.

Anyone who's married or considering marriage (even if not yet in a relationship) should read this book. This book delves into relationships like no other. The authors offer advice that, if followed, will lead to a much healthier --and happier-- bond.

This should be a prerequisite for all couples getting married. If I had read this and understood this concept things wouldn't have gotten so out of hand for the past 8 years. Things are back on track and now my husband is reading it.

This is the Bible to my marriage! Both my husband and I have read this and have been amazed at how helpful it is. You will see both of your faults and see wonderful ways to improve your self, draw closer together, closer to God, and where and how to set boundaries that protect yourself . If your unsure about purchasing this book then you truly will miss out. Also- this book helped me with setting boundaries with other people as well. The only other good marriage book I've read is called "The seven principles for making marriage work". It's really helpful in different ways but this book is my #1.

Definitely recommend this book for any husband or wife who want to seriously grow in taking responsibility for their own part in helping their marriage grow. My wife and I are both going through it. I'm sure I'll be refering back to it in the future.

You will never need another book on marriage if you read and heed this one! It speaks to us all!!! I have read tons of material over the past 10 years and found myself saying while reading, Wow, Wow , Wow...new information. It is life changing!

We went through this study in our small group and did not find the presentation to be nearly as effective as the original books. Many of us in the group had not read any of the Boundaries series and were unfamiliar with the concept of boundaries. Unfortunately, this study did not do a great job of explaining it. The DVD contains few examples of how couples set boundaries in Christian marriage. Most of your time will be spent answering broad, open-ended questions in the accompanying book, which feels like an exercise in futility without a good understanding of the concepts being discussed.

Be advised that you will want to purchase the participant's guide (not the normal study book) to go along with the DVD.

Marriage is hard work. If you want to improve your marriage, you can expect to put forth some effort.

This book does not sugar-coat the process of improving your marriage. It points out the cold hard facts that improving your marriage mostly consists of growing up and taking responsibility for your actions. For me, this is a positive thing, because any other message would not be credible.

The approach described in the book calculated to improve your marriage whether your spouse is also dedicated to make things better or not.

While the approach is not limited to Christians, and anyone could benefit from it, I especially appreciated the fact that the book is based in Christian teachings, which helped me understand the principles better and motivated me to put them into effect.
