Because the narcissistic outlook on life is so different, people with narcissistic tendencies won&#8217;t appreciate the way their codependent spouse goes about getting his or her emotional needs met. In love with the <em>idea of being loved and adored, <\/em>if this person sees that their marriage partner is unhappy, the narcissist will seek love and approval outside the marriage and treat other people much better than their spouse.<\/p>\n<p>Narcissism and codependency are patterns of behaviour that cause family dysfunction. They will cause chaos and disappointment in marriage and eventually destroy love.<\/p>\n<p>Many of us learned these patterns of behaviour growing up.<\/p>\n<p>Narcissistic\/codependent marriages are more common than you might think.<\/p>\n<p>A narcissistic\/codependent marriage does not mean your marriage must end.
