Love and Setting Boundaries

Do you know that many relationship problems actually start because of a lack of boundaries? So, it’s wise that we deal with the issue of boundaries.

Boundaries are not walls.

They’re the healthy fences that define where you end and someone else begins.

They protect your peace, preserve your values, and keep resentment from building silently.

What do boundaries connote for singles? Well, boundaries are how you say, “I love God, I love myself, and I take my life seriously.”

Before entering any relationship, be clear on what matters to you.

Will you go and spend the weekend in his/her house? Will you allow emotional manipulation in the name of love? Will you compromise your sexual purity because “Valentine’s Day is once a year”?

If you don’t define your boundaries, someone else will define them for you.

For married couples, boundaries are just as vital. A healthy marriage thrives on boundaries.

Not everything should be said in anger.

Not every extended family member should have unrestricted access to your home or decisions.

Not every habit is okay just because “that’s how I’ve always been.”

Marriage thrives when couples communicate what’s acceptable, what’s uncomfortable, and what needs to change—with love, not hostility.

A marriage without boundaries becomes chaotic.

A relationship without boundaries becomes a trap.

Even Jesus had boundaries—He said “no” sometimes, walked away sometimes, and guarded His purpose always.

So, whether you’re single or married, remember:

Boundaries don’t push love away—they protect it.

So, get to work… set up your boundaries today.
