Video 6 – Necessary Skills to Listening #5
Tim uses videos from Dr. John Townsend to teach this lesson on listening. The podcast probably won’t make a whole lot of sense without also looking at Dr. Townsend’s videos.
Trudi turns to an area of fences and relationships that we have yet to focus on – in-laws. What are the areas where you have felt yourself running into trouble in this area?
Whether you are in-law, have in-laws, or might someday become an in-law, there are some interesting things for you to consider in this lively session.
Today we review the Do’s and Don’ts of dealing with fence resistant spouses, ending with some additional don’ts, as well as the most important do’s.
(Most of this was recorded live in the Wiilationship Sunday school class, September 12, 2010 – the 24th wedding anniversary for Tim and Trudi. There was a recording issue that made it necessary to record a new front-end for this. Too bad, because there was some really fun discussion that happened in class.)
This teaching arc is based on the book “Boundaries”, by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, and is supplemented by their other books, Boundaries in Marriage, Boundaries for Teens, and Boundaries for Kids.
How do you handle someone who does not respect your fences? What do you do with a fence-resistant person – especially if that person is your spouse?
Tim continues the discussion of what to do with a fence-resistant spouse. (See the previous post to view the clip that is referred to during the lesson.)

Here is the video clip from class today. It is from CloudTownsend.com and encourages us to not treat people like they are projects.
