Ep. 204: Why Boundaries Aren’t Working For You (And What To Do Instead)

Married After Kids

Setting boundaries in marriage should help you feel more respected, connected, and secure—but what if they just lead to more frustration instead? If you’ve ever tried to set a boundary with your spouse, only to have it ignored, misunderstood, or make things worse, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many boundaries fail and what to do differently so they actually work.

Tune in to discover:

• The biggest mistakes couples make when setting boundaries (and how to avoid them)

• Why boundaries are about YOU, not controlling your spouse

• What to do when your spouse resists or ignores your boundary

• A key mindset shift that makes enforcing boundaries easier

• How to set boundaries that actually strengthen connection instead of causing conflict

If boundaries haven’t worked for you in the past, don’t give up yet! This episode will help you set them in a way that feels good for both you and your spouse. Share it with a friend who needs this too!
