Married After Kids

Ep. 224: The Boundaries that Save Marriages


Listen Later

If you want to prevent resentment, reduce conflict, and protect your peace as a parent, one of the most powerful skills you can build is setting boundaries.


I know boundaries can feel confusing, even controversial. Maybe they’ve been used against you in the past, or maybe you’ve thought of them as walls or ultimatums. But the truth is, healthy boundaries are what allow you to show up as your best self, feel emotionally safe, and create a marriage that actually feels good after kids.


In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact boundaries that protect your marriage from resentment and burnout, plus how to put them into place in a way that feels kind, loving, and effective.


Tune in to discover:


• What we so often get wrong about boundaries

• The 5 categories of boundaries that matter most for parents (and how to set them)

• How clear boundaries reduce conflict and increase emotional safety in marriage

• The most common mistakes couples make when setting boundaries (and what to do instead)

• How to know where you need a boundary most in your relationship right now
