Why we Should be Taking Responsibility for the Things we Care About. Part 2




 

Responsibility in Relationships

 

 

Responsibility in relationships are essential to, our children, spouse/mate, friends, and others that matter to us. And this is why we should be taking responsibility as a serious matter. This post coves a few very important points to consider when we find ourselves in a responsible situation. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. There are so many other things to consider when others become our responsibility. 

 

 

Why we Should be Taking Responsibility for Children

Why we should be taking responsibility for children, is because it is our duty to do so. When we have children, we are responsible for their care. We are responsible for our children, and this means that we do our best to care for them.
For example, we love them unconditionally, make sure they are properly fed, clothe properly, and have shelter. Children also need to feel safe and to be protect. We are responsible for both their physical and their psychological well being. Children need supervision, they have a right to an education, and a right to be taught how to become independent.
It is up to us to make sure they are treated in a way that is appropriate for their age. Children should not have adult responsibilities and worries. They should never be put in a situation to be a parent to us. Therefore, we need to do these things  until they reach an age where they can be adequately responsible for themselves.

 

 

 

Why we Should be Taking Responsibility for our Spouse/Mate

 

 

Why we should be taking responsibility for how we treat our spouse/mate. When we are in adult relationships with other people, we have a responsibility to treat them with love and dignity. Being in a romantic relationship for example, means that we do not take advantage of those we are with. We must be loving, understanding, honest, loyal and caring. Male or female, doesn’t matter, we are all due the respect that a loving relationship entitles us to.

We do not own one another, nor do we have the right to tell our partner what to do. If asked for, we can give direction, but not impose our rules on them. At the same time, don’t be shouting and demanding what we want from them in a threatening way.

Also, we should be willing to consider one another’s feelings, opinions, wants, and to allow one another to make mistakes.

Again, this is only the tip of the iceberg. There are so many other things to consider, and major things. One that comes to mind is the importance of learning to communicate. Without proper communication we often find ourselves in conflicts that we cannot seem to resolve. Remember also to be accountable for our actions, and to say “I’m sorry, please forgive me” and mean it.
