 Lesson Personal Development: Personal

19 Relationships – Identify ways to

become responsible in a relationship

People seek love, concern, compassion, sympathy of other people essential for
them to overcome challenges in life and to have sense of belongingness.
People also find it awesome when they show the same feelings they
receive from others. Having someone to share your life success and/or agonies in life
with may add joy or give relief to one’s life like friends do.
However, it may also bring people to a difficult situation. Thus, learning the art of
committing oneself to other people is as essential as learning to know oneself.

This lesson aims to help you understand the essential ways of becoming
responsible and its importance in developing positive relationships .

Let us try to test your wisdom on how well you manage to become responsible in
handling your relationship with the people around you. Kindly read each of the
situations and give your thoughts.

Situation 1: Conflict with the Parents

You had an agreement with your parents that you would finish senior high school
without engaging in a romantic relationship. However, you fell in love with this guy/girl
that made you more inspired to study hard and make a lot of achievements. How will
you handle this kind of situation?

______________________________________________________________________________

Situation 2: Conflict with your best friend (Choose the situation applicable to
you/your gender)

You were courted by a varsity player who is so popular in your school. You are
also aware that he is your best friend’s long-time crush. How would you keep the
friendship without sacrificing your own happiness?

You are courting a student who is not so popular in your school. You know well
that your friends will mock her for she is not their type. Though you found her so
important and very special to you. How would you make your friends accept her as your
special someone?

Situation 3: Conflict with your Significant Other

You work with your friends on your research paper. Most of the time you are with
your girl/boyfriend. Your actions and words are so familiar with each other that is why
you get along with each other so easily and work well too without any difficult feelings
except when your girlfriend/boyfriend expresses jealousy over your friend. How would
you help build confidence and trust in your relationship so that you both surpass this
problem?

 What is It

Importance of Relationship
In module 17 you have learned the three different kinds of relationships Family,
Friends and Partnerships. This time you will focus on making yourself a better person
in any and every relationship you have.
Try to go over with your answers with the situations given in What’s New. You
might have noticed how you tried to consider other people in dealing with the scenarios
before coming up with a decision. If that’s how you did the activity, you should be proud
of yourself for you clearly manifest the trait of a person valuing the importance of
relationships.
Valuing the feelings of our family, friends, and partner or significant other can
only be evident if we open our eyes to realize the importance of that relationship. Now,
the question lies with ‘How do we see the importance of relationships?’
The significance of any relationship can never be realized if we cannot see the
beauty that it brings in our lives. The moment we realize how relationships actually
shape us as a person is the moment that we realize the importance of relationships in
our interactions and behavior.
Some of the importance of relationships are:
1. Lead us to make healthy relationships. All kinds of relationships can give you
the opportunities to establish a stronger relationship with your shared
experiences and feelings with your loved ones.
2. Help us see our potential. People who love you will always see the wonderful
things in you. Through this loving and supportive atmosphere, you little by little
grow as a person, seeing your worth with your capabilities and unique gift and
talent.
3. Boost our confidence. It makes you feel you’re the luckiest person in the world
whenever someone trusts you sufficiently enough. It makes your spirit
enthusiastic and gives you the delightful feeling of self-assurance.
4. Give you a sense of direction. The idea and feeling of sense of belongingness is
such a great source of direction. If you care to give yourself the reward of having
a good life and reputation, you will absolutely do more for the people you dearly
love.
5. Clear our life goals and aspirations. Relationships will help you focus on one
goal and concentrate in achieving it because as the sun sets you know you have
someone whom you can pleasingly offer and share the blissful feeling of a
victorious life with.
6. Build a beautiful person within you. Having all the positive attitudes towards
life and one’s self can really create a good aura. Portraying good personalities can
even make you appear and feel young and lovely.

Now that you are aware of the good things you get out from being in a
relationship, this time get yourself hooked with our discussion on how you can push
yourself to be responsible in your own relationships with your loved ones.

7
Becoming Responsible in a Relationship
A sense of responsibility in taking care of your personal relationship can only be
established when you realize the boundaries and limitations of your role and influence
in the relationships.

6 Major Elements of Becoming Responsible in a Relationship

1. Mutual Respect
Lack of respect absolutely brings people to an unpleasant environment
and pushes people from respecting one another and themselves, too.
Establishing mutual respect is easier when one is guided by the virtue of
the Golden Rule once uttered by Jesus of Nazareth explicitly stated in Matthew
7:12 which has direct English Translation “Do unto others what you would want
others to do unto you.” This may be simply interpreted by the famous line “Respect
begets respect”.
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, we tend to forget that constant
nagging, scolding, blaming are equal to humiliating someone and equates to
disrespecting him/her.
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. Contradictory to what we usually think it is not the quantity of time
you spend with your loved ones that matters but the quality you spend with them.
For example, having a minute of a heart-warming talk or making fond
memories with your kids that is more valuable than having a whole day
of arguing with them.
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. These memories will serve as their investment
for the future. The time that they spend together will surely have a positive impact
on their relationship as a family.
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. Optimistic point of view is really
captivating and can drive someone to be a better person, too. Being
a better individual means having a good perspective and that is able to make
sound decisions.
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.
Optimism and jolliness can surely nurture anyone’s relationship and turn
it to be the best gift one could ever receive in his/her lifetime.

8
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. So, in order to keep someone’s honesty, we should be ready to trust him/her
first, as no one would love to be in a relationship without trust and honesty. Keep
in mind that trust will not be visible without honesty, as honesty shall not come
without trust.

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?
A tap on a shoulder, a kiss on a cheek, a very encouraging smile, a simple hug,
may just be some of the most genuine and sincerest ways of expressing your love
towards one another.
Means of showing well-communicated love may seem to be very simple for
everyone, but in reality, it requires 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.

9
 You may have noticed that there are people who certainly give up in a
relationship for having a difficult kind of feeling, because of being judged for
whatever their past mistakes.
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.
