Boundaries in Relationships

In life we are called to love one another selflessly, and give without conditions, but where do we draw the line and how do we recognise the limits of our responsibility? What do we do when we are hurting in a relationship, or if it's drawing precious energy from the other important areas of our life? Just as we set property lines around our land, we need to set mental, physical, emotional and spiritual boundaries in our life. Setting healthy boundaries can feel uncomfortable and even create guilt, but learning this skill is essential for healthy relationships, good mental health, and ultimately, our freedom and peace.
