Takeaways

Enabling is doing something that encourages your spouse to continue in a negative behavior.

Codependency is a relationship where both partners are unhealthy and dependent on each other's unhealth.

Setting healthy boundaries is crucial in preventing enabling behavior.

True love means loving imperfections but not enabling self-destruction.
