Great book! I did not know that the audio was a condensed version of the book though.
Rating: 4After 39 years of marriage, I definitely wish this had been available to us many years ago. I highly recommend that you prayerfully read this book and follow the stellar advice in unity.

Rating: 5The book gives a quick view into what it really means to set boundaries for each other! It’s old but very informative. And the truth is relationships are th same now and then.
Rating: 5
This has been my life. I have not respected my wife’s boundaries even as a Christian but this accurately described the underlying issues I’ve had and I’m willing to change now.

This audio is a condensed version of the book. The book has a lot more material, but I personally prefer this condensed version.
I'm giving the audiobook three stars because the Bible is used in a rather sloppy manner at times. We all interpret it in some way or another, but taking verses out of context is not helpful. Too many Christians will dismiss the book the first time they encounter a misused Bible verse.

Helpful, but there's a lot to wade through and reconcile with your own world view if you're not Christian and the type to count to three before you react rather than citing a verse at yourself. All in all a good read though, and an interesting perspective.
Rating: 3A book applying the authors' "boundaries" philosophy to the realm of marriage. There is much to commend the authors' concept of "boundaries" to marriage partners: if used properly, boundaries help each spouse recognize what they can and cannot control and to focus more inward and work to fix the self more than attempting to project on the spouse and to fix them. It can assist spouses who have difficulties in the areas of enabling, being walked over, or who constantly project all problems upon the other.On the other hand, as the authors themselves make clear, the concept of boundaries has to be used properly. They cannot be immediate ultimatiums or boundaries enforced on others. The concept of consequences as elaborated in the book make some sense but can lead to all kinds of problems in and of themselves when abused. The idea of one consequence being the withholding of sex also runs contrary to 1 Corinthians 7, despite the authors' attempts to be otherwise rather Biblical. In short, if the boundaries are established in the right way for the right reasons, things will go well. But if boundaries are established in the wrong way and/or for the wrong reasons, things could go from bad to worse. The book and concepts are worth considering, but it is even more important to check yourself at the door before establishing said boundaries.
