Becoming Responsible
in Personal Relationships
1. Mutual Respect
Lack of respect absolutely brings people to an
unpleasant environment and pushes people from
respecting one another and themselves, too.
“Do unto others what you would want
others to do unto you.”
This line means a person shall not trespass in
his rights or put someone down when he/she
is wrong. We certainly know how well we
should respect people but whenever we are in
a relationship.
It is essential to consider this, so in order for
us to gain respect from our loved ones or vice
versa, we should instead use encouraging
words and learn the art of acceptance to
someone’s unique personality or traits and
lastly practice the principle of forgive and
forget.
2. Value Quality Time
Having time for fun will absolutely help you
create more memories worth treasuring. Quality
time with your loved ones may mean learning to
love them more.
For instance, in a family, each member should
learn to take serious matters in a separate
occasion and spend precious moments with
one another creating good memories together.
For a group of people to have some quality
time, each of them must have a very
optimistic aura and jolly personality. Jolly
personality is always and obviously
appreciated by most of the people.
Though others may consider different means of
spending quality time with others as sitting
quietly together while watching the sunset or
reading their favorite novel together over a cup
of coffee, as well.
3. Trust and Honesty
Every person deserves to be trusted by
someone dear to them particularly by family,
friends, and significant other. It is through
genuine trust that person feels a sense of
belongingness and a feeling of being loved.
The person who consistently receives
someone’s trust will definitely grow trusting
him/herself based on how others trust him/her.
Indeed, positive encouragement may create a
positive outlook in life.
Trust is the heart of all relationships, and
because of its presence, other things follow
like confidence, loyalty, and most of all
honesty.
However, for one to completely trust and be
trusted, you must realize that the first step
towards it is honesty. Trust is earned as they
say, but we should also remember that it is
not easy to be honest when you know that no
one trusts you.
4. Well-Communicated Love
Love we felt may certainly start any form of
relationship. However, it is not the thing that can
keep it. Love is just a feeling. What really keeps
any relationship is the love that is well-
communicated.
Open communication is one of the most
essential elements for any kind of relationship
to keep it going. How can we say that our love
is well-communicated?
Means of showing well-communicated love
may seem to be very simple for everyone, but
in reality, it requires lot of effort. It is not easy
to consistently cheer someone up when you
yourself are having a hard time. Though, that
thing per se can make your actions look so
genuine and worthy of being cherished.
5. Reliability and Security
Each one of us dearly loves to have somebody
whom we can depend on and who will
guarantee to protect us from any harm or
trouble at any circumstance.
This virtue teaches everyone the value of
recognizing someone’s imperfections that
he/she is ready to extend him/herself to the
person. This act of kindness will definitely foster
a sense of connection, security, and relief.
A hand that is ready to help would definitely
make someone feel he/she is well-taken care of
by someone. This feeling would also develop a
sense of responsibility since he/she would be
aware of his/her attitude and behavior for
he/she is being looked upon.
As this affection consistently and mutually
exists in both parties, a stronger relationship
might start to develop.
6. Non-judgmental Listening and Presence
Who among us would like to be in a company of
people who do not have the heart to listen and
give us a chance to explain our sides first?
Most people would find this situation totally
unfair.
In order to avoid this, listening is the key factor
that makes communication prosper. Sincere
listening is also a kind of expressing how
genuine you communicate your love and
affection to someone special to you.
Listening with a high value of integrity indicates
your presence which is non-judgmental and not
discriminatory.
If we desire to have a stronger relationship with
anyone, we should have the characteristic of a
good listener. Being a good listener helps one
to become a good adviser for he/she could
easily discern pieces of advice that could
alleviate someone’s feelings.
After sharing your thoughts and experience to
someone close to you, you will definitely feel
unburdened as if a heavy stone was lifted from
your chest. The weight of your anxiety, worries,
and doubts could diminish just simply by having
someone to listen to you without judgment and
prejudice.
This kind of experience will precisely increase
your tendency to reciprocate the love, trust,
honesty, and sense of encouragement,
reliability, and security toward another.
No matter what words we use to express the
key factors that will make a healthy relationship,
do not forget that it always takes two to tango.
For a relationship to grow and become
successful, parties involved should take their
own sets of responsibility.
Remember that being and choosing to be part
of any relationship by any circumstance
requires commitment. Committing oneself
means offering the best version of yourself
while still learning to accept and wait till the
other party will be able to do the same.
