The Tenacity Podcast Ep 21: Boundaries Are An Invitation, Not An Ultimatum

Her husband would not get clean. So she left, took the baby, and told him: this family is drug free, and you are invited. Was that manipulation? Or was it the thing that saved both of them? In this episode Patrick and Maddie Martinez break down what a boundary actually is, and what it is not. When a marriage is in crisis, most advice you find is written for couples who are not on fire. This is for the ones who are. Before you can grow anything, you have to stop watering the weeds. They cover why boundaries are freedom and not a cage, how the same approach works with your kids, the boundaries they hold each other to in their own marriage, and the story of two friends whose wedding had an entire front row of empty chairs. This episode is drawn from Lesson 4 of Survive & Thrive, Patrick's ten lesson, 42 day guided course for couples in crisis.
