Description

In this honest and thought-provoking episode of Faith, Family, & Fulfillment, Chris and Suzanne Vester unpack the difference between healthy spiritual intimacy and unhealthy emotional dependency. In relationships, it can be easy to confuse connection with control, or closeness with needing someone else to complete you. This episode challenges couples to build relationships rooted in faith, freedom, and mutual growth—not emotional survival.

• 10:35 Crossing an Emotional Line: Recognizing when emotional attachment begins to replace healthy boundaries and personal responsibility.
