We’ve Got Issues | Boundary Issues | Carl Nichols

In this message from our We’ve Got Issues series, Pastor Carl Nichols talks about one of the biggest challenges in modern marriages: boundaries. Culture constantly tries to shape how relationships work, but God’s Word calls us to something better. When boundaries are unclear or ignored, marriages often drift toward what culture says is normal instead of what God designed. In this message, we explore six areas where marriages commonly struggle with boundaries and how Scripture helps us protect what matters most.

Romans 12:1–2 reminds us not to conform to the pattern of this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Topics covered in this message:

In-law boundaries

Work & time boundaries

Digital & electronic boundaries

Emotional & opposite-sex boundaries

Sexual boundaries

Healthy boundaries are not about rejection—they are about protection.

When we intentionally establish them, we create space for trust, intimacy, and a marriage that honors God.

Boundaries don’t limit love—they protect it.
