The interdependent couple is the new kind of couple, living from the heart. Two people who are independent yet share power equally and take accountability for their actions, behaviors, and feelings. They give and receive on an emotional level, allowing caretaking to flow back and forth and create wholeness.

Do we have such a role model?

As a collective society, we are just starting to transform the way we mate. In long-past times, we mated for security, social obligations, and economic support. We are either co-dependent: a pseudo-independent or dependent.

Be honest and ask yourself...Do I cling to another? Do I want control of another? Do I make demands on another? Do I want to possess another?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you are not truly independent. Childhood unmet needs are controlling your behavior-you are not free to have a healthy relationship.

Do you want to free yourself to connect with someone from the heart? 

Only when we truly recognize our own worth can we form those heart-centered connections. As we evolve and learn to value ourselves and each other, we can embrace a truly interdependent relationship—one where we share power equally, and take responsibility for our actions, behaviors, and feelings.
