Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

Why Does My Wife Keep Setting Boundaries—And Why Do They Feel Like Walls Between Us?


Listen Later

Many husbands feel like they’re constantly walking on eggshells, confused about why their wife keeps setting more and more boundaries. Meanwhile, wives feel exhausted, wondering why their husband doesn’t seem to understand their needs.

What if the issue isn’t the boundaries themselves, but how we understand them? In this episode, we dive deep into:
✅ Why wives often resist setting boundaries—even when they desperately need them.
✅ Why boundaries feel like rejection to husbands (and what they really mean instead).
✅ The "greenhouse" approach to marriage—how to cultivate a thriving relationship rather than living in survival mode.
✅ What it actually means for a husband to preside, provide, and protect—and why many men were never taught how to do it.
✅ How to set and enforce boundaries without turning marriage into a battle zone.

If you’ve ever felt like your wife’s boundaries are pushing you away—or if you’re a wife who’s exhausted from constantly having to explain yourself—this episode is for you.
