How to Build Your Boundaries: A Practical Game Plan for Christian Couples

In Part 1 we talked about what Christian dating boundaries are, why they are biblical and what they looked like for us personally. Now we are giving you the practical strategy. In this video my husband Nathaniel, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and I walk you through exactly how to build your own personalized boundary strategy for Christian dating. We cover core values and how they shape your boundaries, the different domains of boundaries including physical, emotional, spiritual, social and financial, deal breakers, temptation and how to build accountability into your strategy. This is not a formula. It is a framework. Get your pens ready.
