The Invisible Property Lines That Save Love

Picture a marriage where one partner commands "Get the dessert" while the other offers "I'll drive them home, honey, you look tired." Same institution, radically different worlds. What separates these couples isn't luck or compatibility-it's boundaries. These invisible property lines don't build walls between partners; they create the safe space where real intimacy can actually breathe. Think of boundaries as the guardrails on a mountain road: they don't limit your journey, they make the journey possible. Without them, love becomes a dangerous game of control and resentment. With them, two people can truly know and be known.
