Marriage disconnection often stems from three powerful yet hidden forces: self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and self-absorption that create patterns of isolation within relationships.
• Self-reliance tricks us into thinking we must figure everything out alone
• Self-sufficiency creates the false belief that having needs is weakness
• Self-absorption naturally follows when we focus only on our own experiences
• Codependent family backgrounds often teach us it's unsafe to need others
• Daily FANOS exercise helps couples practice healthy interdependence (Feelings, Affirmation, Needs, Ownership, Struggle/Sobriety)
• Recovery from "independence addiction" requires vulnerability and confession
• Creating safe spaces to express needs transforms relationship dynamics
• Community support is essential for marriage growth and healing
• True connection emerges when we accept our design as relational beings
