S8: Chapter 6 - Relationship Boundaries

The audiobook is now available on most platforms, including on our website - https://www.codependentmind.com/

In this chapter, we explore relationship boundaries - just as individuals need personal boundaries to maintain autonomy, relationships need boundaries to protect the shared entity of Us. These boundaries define what the partnership is, what each person can expect, and how to balance safety with openness. Without intentional definition, couples often inherit unexamined expectations from family, culture, or religion, which may not fit their needs. Boundaries are not rules to control a partner but agreements that protect and strengthen the relationship itself, ensuring it remains stable, nourishing, and respectful of all three entities—Me, You, and Us.
