What is a boundary in a couple?

This entry describes a boundary as a stated limit on what one person will do, share, or accept, such as time alone, a topic that is off limits, or treatment they will not endure. It treats the limit as information the other person can hear, not as a punishment.

What this entry does not do

It does not write a boundary script for a named couple, and it does not replace the entry on in-laws.
