Love or dependency

When your stability depends entirely on the other person, the relationship ceases to be free. You no longer love from fullness, but from fear of losing them. Healthy love adds, accompanies, and helps grow. It does not replace your inner balance or take the place that only God and an orderly life can sustain. A relationship should not take the place of your whole life. Keeping friendships, duties, prayer, and healthy spaces allows you to love with more freedom and less fear.
