4 Steps To Transform A Codependent Relationship

You Can Be Codependent No More

In a healthy relationship there is a fluctuating give and take, day in and day out. Some days one partner gives more, and some days they give less. In a healthy relationship, there is a good balance that evens out over the weeks and months.

Life throws a ton of problems and issues at us on a day to day basis. How we handle these difficulties ends up being a large part of our lives. Relationships are built moment by moment. As time passes, these moments add up to what our relationship means.

When we begin a relationship, every action of each partner is fraught with importance. As time goes on, we begin to develop a broader perspective on the relationship. We can see that the small fight we had the other day doesn’t mean the whole damn thing is doomed.

This applies to romantic, platonic, business, or any other relationship. We are always learning how to dance with our partners, watching how they move, as we also try to move alongside them with some sort of grace.

In a balanced relationship, both partners are trying their best to learn how to dance, together. And learning together is key — if we aren’t on a journey side by side, it’s possible that we are in a codependent relationship.
