Today we review the Do’s and Don’ts of dealing with fence resistant spouses, ending with some additional don’ts, as well as the most important do’s.

(Most of this was recorded live in the Wiilationship Sunday school class, September 12, 2010 – the 24th wedding anniversary for Tim and Trudi. There was a recording issue that made it necessary to record a new front-end for this. Too bad, because there was some really fun discussion that happened in class.)

This teaching arc is based on the book “Boundaries”, by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, and is supplemented by their other books, Boundaries in Marriage, Boundaries for Teens, and Boundaries for Kids.
