Setting boundaries is a vital aspect of any healthy and loving relationship. It's about expressing your needs, limits, and expectations in a respectful and assertive way. Here's what healthy boundaries might sound like:

❤️ "I value our togetherness but also need time to recharge."
❤️ "Let's communicate openly about our feelings and concerns."
❤️ "Privacy is important; let's respect each other's personal space."

Boundaries foster understanding, respect, and growth within relationships. It's a two-way street—listening to and respecting each other's boundaries is key to a fulfilling connection.
