Setting Boundaries in Relationships
Boundaries are essential in maintaining healthy relationships, whether it be friendships, parent-child relationships, or marriages. Establishing boundaries can prevent chaos and promote effective communication. It is important to recognize the difference between a difficult relationship and a destructive one, as difficult relationships are part of normal relational challenges, while destructive relationships require setting proper boundaries to protect oneself. Boundaries can be set through effective communication, seeking counsel, and making choices that prioritize self-care and safety. It is crucial not to stay in isolation during challenging relationships but to find trusted individuals who can offer wisdom and support.
