INTERDEPENDENCE - Chapter 8 | Love and Relationships: There are three stages in one\u2019s overall development. There is dependence. There is independence. And there is interdependence. In the simplest way, this is demonstrated in a person\u2019s life by the fact that they are very dependent when they are infants and young children, slowly growing out of dependence to a state of independence as an adolescent or young adult, when they begin to differentiate from their parents and family. Then there is interdependence, when they are married and have a family, or unite with other people in spiritual community and so forth.
