Creating Boundaries to Avoid Conflict in Friendships and Relationships (Men and Women).



What are boundaries? Boundaries are guidelines or limits you must set in order to live and love well. A relationship without God-honoring boundaries is a relationship destined for chaos, frustration, and disappointment. It's okay, and even good, to say no to some things. Jesus did it all the time. If parenting is a struggle for you, boundaries may be the key to help you bring respect and love back into your home. Do you have a controlling family member? How can you respond to this person(s) in a way that’s pleasing to God? When asked to help out in some way do you ... should you ... always say yes? The answers to these questions may surprise you. In this small group you’ll discover why you need boundaries, why you have trouble setting them, and where you need to set them. You’ll discover methods for dealing with abusive or controlling relationships. And you’ll explore how boundaries bring stability, love, and joy to your life.
