Boundaries in Relationships

Boundaries make relationships work.

Boundaries are often used to make yourself feel safe in situations where you might otherwise not feel safe. A relationship is a refuge where we want to feel safe all the time -- this is especially true in the case of romantic relationships.

Setting boundaries in your relationship with your partner will enable you to become closer because every element of your relationship will be adding to that feeling of safety, building a sense of closeness and connection like you've never experienced before.

Problems occur in relationships when people don't understand each other. Setting boundaries and communicating your boundaries to your partner will help you share a mutual understanding of what makes you feel fulfilled, happy, and safe -- empty, confused and hurt.

Life is simply a lot harder when our precious relationships aren't working the right way. This month's course is all about developing in the areas that will bring you closer together with your partner.
