Is it the healthy or unhealthy emotions that bind us?

By using the word 'stronger', I mean 'long-lasting relationship trough thick and thin'. It may mean both partners are just bound together legally. By codependency, I understand 'excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one with illness or addiction who requires support'. Example ;
1) In a situation where divorce, separation and single parenting are not socially (and/or legally and religiously) acceptable
2) If a grownup couple under arranged marriage or any similar forms of bonding and cohabiting for a long period of time will be able to raise a healthy and happy offsprings and close–knit families who again bind the couple together. Love may or may not occur during that long period of codependency but it works well for that particular society. Divorce rate is less than 3 (i don't have records but I have known 2 divorced couples over a time span of 30 years)
I hope it makes sense to you :)
