From Codependency to Connection: How a Broken Vase Fixed a Marriage

If you've ever felt responsible for your spouse's happiness, emotions, or decisions, you may have wondered whether your relationship has slipped into unhealthy territory. Many people don't recognize the signs of a codependent marriage because those patterns can look like love, service, sacrifice, or simply being a "good partner."

In this episode of Chasing Sunshine, Shiree Sandall shares the powerful story of her "kintsugi marriage"—a marriage that had to be broken apart and rebuilt stronger than before. Through years of personal growth, forgiveness, healthy boundaries, and spiritual insight, she and her husband transformed codependent patterns into a healthier relationship built on interdependence, personal responsibility, and deeper connection.
