10 great books that will strengthen your marriage

6. Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life 

This book has been in book stores for decades, but I believe it is the most effective resource on the market when it comes to establishing healthy boundaries in relationships.  As Christian psychologists, Cloud and Townsend offer great insight into what healthy boundaries need to be in place in various relationships, how to recognize whether or not someone is overstepping a healthy boundary, and how to lovingly and firmly put needed boundaries in place.  If you and your spouse are struggling with in-laws or friends who are overstepping into your marriage, this book will guide you through establishing and keeping healthy boundaries in place–including how to handle those who don’t take the new boundaries well.  This is one book that you’ll go back and read time and time again, and what you learn will help to bring more peace and understanding to your marriage and family.
