Insights for romance to help you grow in freedom, honesty, and self-control as you pursue healthy dating limits that can lead to a happy marriage.

How do you set smart limits on your physical relationship? How much do you get involved financially? And how do you know if you've found your future spouse? Dating can be fun, but it's not always easy to navigate the questions and intricacies along the way.

In Boundaries in Dating, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the New York Times bestseller Boundaries, share their practical advice for adding healthy boundaries to your dating life.

Full of insightful, real-life examples, this book will give you the tools you need to:

  • Preserve friendships by separating between platonic relationships and romantic interest.

This book is a godsend! I was hesitant in picking it up as I took it to be a typical book on "Christian dating". But the Drs approach to the topic is clear cut, relatable and refreshing. Not overbearing at all in referencing Christian principles and scriptures. Must read for all, believers or not!

Absolute epiphany

Probably the only honest, well written book about how one should treat dating and allow it to be a safe place for growth as well as discovering your own & your date preferences and vulnerabilities.

Thank you Dear Doctor Cloud and Doctor Townsend for your work and compassion and for being an instrument in God’s hands to help all those entering the dating scene or being in it 🙏✨ I learned about your other book - Boundaries: when to say Yes and how to say No - from a Pastor Amvrosiy from Ukraine and having started reading it came across an Audible suggestion for this book - Boundaries in Dating - and I’m glad I did! It was something I was looking for as I am in a second year of my self-initiated quarantine after a heartbreaking split from a boyfriend of 2 years with whom we planned to move-in together before marriage. I am now in a place where I can learn about healthy dating in order to prepare my dating strategy prior to entering the dating scene when the quarantine is complete.

Heart-opening and kind book❤️

Loved the handy hints and tips with regards to dating, honestly it’s like a mind-field. Not anymore. Love how the authors made sense from an intelligent and practical way, how good dating will incur great results, equally how making the wrong choice is detrimental for everyone involved. Very good book, boundaries are for our good, use them wisely and they’ll steer you clearly.

Great book

I find this audiobook to be a very Downey to esrth sobering map to process a tough love mentality encouraging one to own ones choices 100% - as well as ones personal responsibility 100% connecting to faith...I am a bit surprised I find the teachings of this book completely opposite to much heard & seen in contexts of faith...Some extreme mindset of finding an equal in faith - but much is refreshing practical knowledge of how to deal w real- life challemges & thrive . IN REALITY.

Simply about honesty & being committed to reality
