You have to understand that while marriage is a two-way process, it’s never the only source of happiness so stop having this mindset.
One boundary that is often misunderstood is having friends outside marriage. Some boundaries become negative when the feelings involved with it is also negative such as jealousy.
Some boundaries in relationships get out of hand and can sometimes strip you of rational thinking and can later be a trait where you can no longer respect your spouse as a person. Respect their privacy.
Speak up and let your spouse know if you want something or if you disagree on things that you both need to decide.
There should be boundaries between the partners so that none of them steps forward to an extent to practice physical abuse in order to have a say in the relationship.
At times, partners should also build boundaries so that they know that the names they give to each other is respectable and sounds adoring rather than a bully.
Spouses are not bound to discuss everything about each other’s family if they are not comfortable. Conversations about their respective families should be limited to the point both the spouses are comfortable sharing and listening to.
Both the partners should ensure that they are only sharing what they feel comfortable with and the other partner should not force them.
Partners should give each other me-time and not hamper each other’s personal space. Me-time is essential for couples to re-energize and keep the relationship healthy.
How the fights should be handled must be pre-decided in every relationship. The partners should understand each other’s apology language and work around the relationship accordingly.
