Even if you’re Christian — even if your spouse is a genuinely good person — you can still feel deeply unfulfilled. In this episode, Dr. Greg explores how asking another person to carry your identity, security, and worth turns love into survival — and leaves both people depleted.
Key Topics:
- How misplaced dependence slowly erodes love
- Why identity collapses when relationships become sources of self-worth
- The difference between free self-gift and anxious attachment
- How to properly order your love
