Codependency feeds off dysfunctional relationships. It can form between spouses in a marriage, couples dating, or in a parent-child relationship. A person in a codependent relationship may find they are looking for approval, love, validation, and self-worth from an emotionally unavailable partner. This leads to one person in the relationship controlling the other person.
We know at Westlake Christian Counseling in California, that our heavenly Father seeks a personal relationship with us without all the strings attached. He loves us where we are and makes us new creatures in Him – a concept the secular world cannot quite grasp.
