Love and relationships
Healthy boundaries
Deciding how far we allow what others do to affect us, with respect.
What the Bible can tell you
Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.
Proverbs 25:17
For each man will bear his own burden.
Galatians 6:5
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Matthew 5:37
A human reading
Setting boundaries is not rejecting someone; it is protecting your peace. You can state them calmly and keep them without hostility. Boundaries make more honest relationships possible.
