Boundaries

Leave and Cleave Boundaries – What they mean, what they don't, and why they're so important (because they are)

The person with the greatest stock in your life is going to be your spouse, and it doesn’t just happen even though it ought to be practiced completely; it is a learned unity through baby steps to get to that point. Unity can be like a wave in the ocean, sometimes you’re riding high above and surfing it together, and other times your spouse is looking down as you’re drowning under a wave while you’re traveling through a season of disunity. Always work toward unity as a couple, and if you find you are out of sync work that much harder to move to a position of unity. It is something, though, that takes two willing partners.

What Comes After Forgiveness?

Let’s say you have forgiven someone an offense, then what?  Wipe your hands of them?  Dust off your feet and be on your way?  Run back to them and go back to the exact same relationship?  Refuse to talk about the issues and enter back into relationship? Say ‘good riddance’ and flee from them? Ensure a repentant heart is involved and work to see if trust can be rebuilt as you cautiously enter back into relationship?
