Rich in Relationship

Boundaries Are Not Cold—They’re Protective


Listen Later

Many couples fear boundaries will create distance — so they live without them. The result isn’t closeness. It’s exhaustion, resentment, and emotional leakage that slowly drains goodwill.In this episode of Rich in Relationship, we challenge the myth that boundaries are unloving or selfish. Through Brad and Gwen’s story, you’ll see how the absence of boundaries leaves partners perpetually “on,” emotionally overextended, and quietly angry — even while they’re trying to be generous and supportive.You’ll learn why boundaries are not walls but containers — structures that protect energy, preserve intimacy, and make rest possible. This episode shows how clear limits around time, roles, and emotional processing actually create more freedom, not less.If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, unable to rest, or guilty for wanting space, this episode reframes boundaries as one of the most loving acts a partnership can practice — and a requirement for long-term sustainability.👉 Join our free community for more tools and tips on building stronger, more connected relationships.https://richinrelationship.com/free-community/#relationshiptips #relationshipadvice #healthyboundaries #marriage #emotionalintimacy #couplescommunication #richheller #richinrelationship
