Exercise: Clarify Your Boundaries

This exercise was created as a supplement to the podcast episode: What Counts as Cheating… Really?

This Boundaries Exercise helps couples define clear, healthy limits that protect trust and connection in their relationship. By exploring key areas of money, sex, time, family, and honesty, each partner identifies personal values and expectations, then compares notes in a guided, curiosity-based discussion. The goal isn’t to agree on everything immediately but to understand each other’s perspectives, clarify differences, and create agreements that support mutual respect and emotional safety.
