    About this audiobook

    Insights for romance to help you grow in freedom, honesty, and self-control as you pursue healthy dating limits that can lead to a happy marriage.

    How do you set smart limits on your physical relationship? How much do you get involved financially? And how do you know if you've found your future spouse? Dating can be fun, but it's not always easy to navigate the questions and intricacies along the way.

    In Boundaries in Dating, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the New York Times bestseller Boundaries, share their practical advice for adding healthy boundaries to your dating life.

    Full of insightful, real-life examples, this book will give you the tools you need to:

    • Recognize and choose quality over perfection in a dating partner.
    • Prioritize friendship within your relationship.
    • Preserve friendships by separating between platonic relationships and romantic interest.
    • Move past denial to handle real relational problems in a realistic and hopeful way.
    • Enjoy this season of life.

     

    Boundaries in Dating unfolds a wise, biblical path to developing self-control, freedom, and intimacy. Let Drs. Cloud and Townsend help you get to know yourself, solve problems, and enjoy the journey of dating and finding your life partner.

      This is an excellent book. Although I am not a Christian I appreciated the links with the scriptures from an exegesis point of view. The important take-away from this book is that keeping and voicing boundaries are vital to keep a relationship going rather than the opposite. I also always saw the breaker of the boundaries as the main culprit, and the other as the victim, I now see instead how those who do not speak up have the same responsibility in the demise of the relationship. I will listen again to this audiobook many times, as there is a lot to take in and learn and hopefully will take the plunge and apply many of the teachings of this book for my own wellbeing.

      Book was read very well and the speaker had a great tone which matched the content he was reading. I listened while driving and sometimes got really absorbed in the book so watch out for that! Book was also the right length; it didn't drag on like some books. Highly recommend.

      Good, but rather redundant after reading the first "Boundaries" book.
    • 3/5
      Had some interesting things to think about when entering into a dating relationship, but I felt it was a bit shallow. I would have preferred a deeper look at one or two of their points, rather than the broad overview.

      Excellent book. Such a great guide to having a healthy dating relationship!
