The Private Courtyard of Life

Achieving peace is not accidental. One must strive for tranquility and nurture it like a plant to protect it from harm and pests. From the moment a couple enters into marriage, they must understand that each has a private space that the other must accept and respect. Additionally, both partners need to know that the boundary drawn around them should be secure enough not to be disturbed by undue interference and opinions of family members and others. Both must respect this safe boundary and be diligent in maintaining and preserving it. The Private Courtyard of Life is for all women and men living under one roof who value protecting their family boundaries and are unwilling to lose the life and peace they have built for any reason. The topics addressed in this book include: respecting a spouse’s privacy, differences between spouses, family boundaries, strategies to prevent others’ interference in marital relationships, gender differences, and how to communicate and interact with a spouse and others.
