Overcoming Codependency in Relationships

Deskripsi

In this episode on codependency in marriage and emotional boundaries, I unpack the difference between codependency and interdependency through my personal journey with Skylar. If you've ever felt like you're losing yourself in your relationship or can’t be okay unless your spouse is okay, this is for you. I share how our good intentions became unhealthy patterns of emotional enmeshment—and how we began to break free. I share real-life examples of what codependency looked like in our marriage, how it created resentment, and what we did to move toward a healthier, more God-centered connection. I walk through the key traits of both codependent and interdependent relationships so you can start identifying what’s happening in your own. This episode is for you if: - You feel responsible for your spouse’s emotions - You avoid conflict to “keep the peace” - You’ve stopped expressing your needs out of fear of their reaction - You struggle to know who you are outside of your role as a wife I also unpack biblical truths about identity, emotional responsibility, and how to stop idolizing your spouse’s opinion above God’s Word. I give practical tools and an exclusive handout to help you grow toward emotional maturity in your marriage. If you’re ready to break free from unhealthy patterns and create a strong, interdependent relationship rooted in Christ, this episode is for you.
