How to Get Out of a Codependent Marriage without Getting a Divorce

Have you ever thought that if you give enough to the other person, they'll love you back? That if you're nice enough, friendly enough, helpful enough - they'll want to spend time with you and compliment you?

But life doesn't work that way, and neither do people. We can't push a button and the behavior we want will come out of the other person. Unfortunately though, most of us have been taught that's what love is.

The more I did the right thing and my husband didn't respond the way I wanted him to, the harder I worked at doing the right thing. The more I showed him I loved him, and the more I expected him to love me back.

After a while, I'd just blow up, we'd have an argument, we'd both get hurt, apologize, and start the process all over again. Until we ended up on the brink of divorce.

That's when I turned to Jesus and found out love is pretty much the opposite of what I'd been taught!
