Her newest, <\/em>Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are<em>, was born out of her own personal struggles, extensive theological research and therapeutic experiences that transformed the way she defined and pursued healthy relationships.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Why are boundaries so crucial to our spiritual well-being?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve learned that when there\u2019s chaos, there\u2019s usually a lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/set-better-boundaries-by-letting-go-of-toxic-positivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healthy boundaries<\/a>. Many of us experience chaos in relationships, but we feel powerless to change what we desperately feel needs to be changed. So many beautiful principles exist about how to love people and sacrifice for people. Those are good, but I also think some of it has been taken out of context.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want to call something love when it\u2019s enabling bad behavior. I started to ask, what are the biblical truths about having <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/bible-verses\/bible-verses-about-love\/scripture-for-better-relationships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">better relationships<\/a>? What did God originally intend with boundaries? I found it fascinating that in Genesis chapter two, when God has the first recorded conversation with Adam, of all the topics in the world God could have chosen for that conversation, he chose a boundary.<\/p>\n<p>As I studied the Bible, I found many instances of the Lord setting boundaries to protect us, not limit us. I now believe that boundaries aren\u2019t just a good idea but God\u2019s idea. They\u2019ve always been a crucial part to God\u2019s plan of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/deepen-your-faith\/god-will-see-you-through-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bringing order to chaos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. You say that health cannot bond with unhealth. What does that mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>My counselor, Jim Cress, taught me this. When one person is pursuing <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/how-to-cultivate-positive-habits-that-last\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healthy choices<\/a> in a relationship and the other person is not, there\u2019s tension. Mental health is a commitment to reality at all costs. We have to evaluate what reality is, to acknowledge the truth. Then we can communicate what is healthy and ask the other person if they are willing to make changes so that the relationship is healthy.<\/p>\n<p>If they\u2019re unwilling or incapable, then the only option is to draw boundaries so you don\u2019t put yourself in a situation where you need the other person to change for you to be okay. We have to remember that boundaries aren\u2019t to shove the other person away. I put boundaries on myself and on the relationship so I can stay true to the best of who I am and who God has called me to be.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. How can we navigate saying goodbye to a relationship?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>First, we have to acknowledge that not all relationships go the distance. Some are for a season; some for a lifetime. I\u2019ve had to say goodbye. But I\u2019d never been taught a healthy, biblical perspective of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/family\/the-sweetness-of-goodbye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to say goodbye<\/a>, and when and how to manage the hurt afterward. I needed to learn.<\/p>\n<p>One biblical example can be seen in <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/10-favorite-bible-verses-by-st-paul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul <\/a>and Barnabas, who had a sharp disagreement and parting of ways. Each had their reasons and their perspective. I\u2019m sure it wasn\u2019t what they wanted. It happens to us in relationships today. But there is an indication Paul kept his heart soft even when the relationship never looked quite the same. There\u2019s a lot we can learn from that. We can\u2019t control the other person and prevent them from walking away, but we can make sure the hurt doesn\u2019t become the defining mark of our life or a destructive force in our heart.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more inspiring stories, subscribe to <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/magazines\/guideposts-magazine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Guideposts<\/strong><\/a> <em>magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lysa TerKeurst is the president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the best-selling author of more than 25 books.
