Today’s passionate relationship principle (PRP) is this: Boundaries are Necessary. Often when you think of boundaries, you think of how they might be helpful with people who cause problems for you: the rude coworker, the disrespectful relative, or the inconsiderate neighbor. But boundaries are even more important for the relationships that are most important. Boundaries are just guidelines for what you determine is unacceptable behavior. When other people treat you in a way that is within your boundaries—acceptable behavior—the relationship can flourish. When people interact with you in a way that is outside of your boundaries—unacceptable behavior—the relationship cannot flourish and will either dissolve completely or dwindle to situation in which you find that you are nothing more than acquaintances.
Questions and Actions
What are your boundaries? What types of behavior are you unwilling to tolerate in your relationship? Knowing what your boundaries are allows you to communicate them to your spouse upfront. This information is not used to threaten another person, it’s an opportunity to be grownups and know what the rules are so that you really can grow old together.
