Think about your wedding day. 
What were some of the feelings and emotions you were experiencing? 

If you’re anything like me, I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Getting married was the day I had looked forward to ever since I was a little girl. Everything I did in life somehow related to this goal of finding my one true love and sealing our lives together for time and all eternity. 

In my mind, August 19th, 2016 would forever go down as the moment I had finally arrived. I made it! I reached my ultimate goal! 

Though it’s only been two short years since that day, it didn’t take me long to realize how wrong I was. 

MARRIAGE IS NOT A DESTINATION. 
It’s not about the wedding rings, the venue or the photographer. It’s not about what song you had your first dance to, or the flavor of the cake you smooshed in his face. 

That stuff is only the beginning. It’s only the first step. 

Marriage is everything that comes after all that!

The concept of Boundaries is not something we talk about in Sunday School.

It's not a merit badge, or a young women's value.

But without boundaries, our marriages will not flourish and thrive like we want them to.

So, today we're going to give you an introduction into the concept of boundaries. What are they? How do they work? Why are they important? How do we set them? And how do we enforce them?

An Introduction To Boundaries

Did you know there are actually two types of conflict in marriage?

Some conflict, like what to eat for dinner tonight, is resolvable conflict.

The rest of our conflicts - 69% to be exact - are unresolvable conflicts, like what to do if you're an early riser, and I'm a night owl. Or if you're fastidious and I'm cluttery.

If you try to solve an unsolvable problem, you're just going to get more upset and frustrated. (Each type of problem requires its own skillset.)

So, today we're going to talk about those two types of conflict, and how to handle them differently.

The Two Types of Marital Conflict

How do you create a marriage that can withstand any trial?

And let's be honest, we want to do more than merely survive... we want to THRIVE, even amidst the struggles of life.

God didn't give us marriage to endure. It's to enjoy. And that's what we'll show you how to do today.
