For Love Only: Courageous Conversations

Christians & Boundaries with Simone Cox, LMFT


Listen Later

Today’s episode is special because I’m talking about spirituality in marriage. I usually don’t talk about spirituality (although I am a Christian) because I like to stay more practical while giving tools for a happy and healthy marriage but I receive so many requests from my audience about this topic so I want to honor that and discuss Christians and Boundaries. I’m joined by Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my mentor, Simone Cox, and she gives us a balanced perspective about how to set limits for ourselves while walking out our Christian lives. You’ll learn:
How the concept of submission is used to manipulate people
Which pastors to receive marriage advice from
How to set boundaries with your parents (as an adult)
How to set boundaries if you’re experiencing the 3 “A’s” in your marriage (Affair, Addiction, Abuse)
