Needing the people we love is a natural part of being human and a path to spiritual growth. Lorin explains how codependency, a term first used to describe the enmeshment between an addict and their partner, was applied so broadly to relationships that it has created confusion. Drawing on the science of how humans are wired for connection, including Brooke Feeney’s research on the dependency paradox, the episode shows how accepting each other’s need for support helps both partners grow more confident and independent. Lorin questions spiritual ideals of perfect detachment that armor the heart and opens up about learning to receive support in marriage. Listeners leave with practical ways to lean on a safe partner, repair after misunderstandings, and open their hearts to deeper intimacy.
