When "No" Isn't Selfish: Setting Boundaries in Your Relationship

from Doing Marriage Well · host paulb5d

This episode explores how setting healthy boundaries in marriage can be mistaken for selfishness, using real examples of spouses with conflicting emotional and physical needs. It explains why emotional exhaustion deserves the same respect as physical needs and how fear of being labelled selfish can distort giving and receiving in a relationship. The hosts offer a balanced Christian perspective that affirms self-care, healthy limits, and seeking trusted help to find clarity. Paul reminds listeners that doing marriage well looks different for every couple and encourages finding a sustainable, loving equilibrium.
