IMO - Co-dependency is not as bad as many T would have you believe..... I think in today's society to many have gotten away from what a spouse was meant to be to the other spouse (friend, confidant, lover, supporter, adviser and life long partner).... hence why we have so many marriages ending in divorce.... spouses are turning to others in time of need, for the solution, instead of talking to their very own partner - - - and let us not forget about how the two was created to become one.

I have been married for 20 years (together for 23 yrs) and while we have indeed had our ups and down / hurts and pains.... we made it for in the long run we learned early on how we should turn to each other first, and then friends & family second.... having a life together first and for most and then friends / family to share it all with.

Co-dependency is only bad when one allows the other to consumes every hour and every minute of ones life.... not when you need the other as God made it to be, and every thing He made was Good!
