A definition of interdependence is: “a reciprocal relation between interdependent entities."
The key word here is: "reciprocal". Interdependence can be thought of as a relationship where each party gives and receives from his or her own internal overflow. This is different than "codependence" which can be thought of as being "addicted to someone."Another way to look at it, spiritually, is this: A relationship dependent person makes someone else his or her Higher Power. An interdependent person knows that they have a Higher Power and keeps their focus on that, while choosing to be in a relationship with someone else who is also looking to there Higher Power to fulfill them. when we make someone else our Higher Power, we are setting ourselves up for pain. This is a top cause of pain in relationships and of break ups. We are looking to someone else for something they can never give us - which is perfect and unwavering Love. There is only one place unwavering Love comes from and that is from a healthy concept of a higher power.
