14 Boundaries Every Person Needs for Healthy Relationships

By HealthMeansWealth

Boundaries are like the guardrails on the highway of our connections with others, keeping us safe, happy, and thriving.

1. Physical Boundaries

Boundaries encompass personal space, privacy, and comfort levels.

2. Respecting Personal Space

Acknowledge that boundaries are a two-way street, and be receptive to your partner’s requests as well.

3. Acknowledging Feelings and Emotions

Communicate your emotional needs openly; let your partner know how they can support you when you're upset.

4. Boundaries Against Name-Calling

Let’s say that you get into an argument with your partner, and they call you an unkind name in the middle of the fight.

5. Intellectual Boundaries

Intellectual boundaries revolve around beliefs, ideas, and viewpoints.

Regardless of the type of the relationship, boundaries can only be effective if they are communicated clearly and have consequences if the other one breaks them.
