Being in a certain kind of relationship is one of the inevitable things in the

world. 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.

What is It

Importance of Relationship
In module 17 you have clearly understood 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 behaviour.
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
 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.

Becoming Responsible in a Relationship

When you are in a relationship, you share your experiences and feelings
to help your relationship to grow. However, there are cases that these experiences
may tend to break the relationship if you fail to triumphantly surpass the tests in
your relationships. A sense of responsibility in taking care of your own relationship
can only be established when you realize the boundaries and limitations of your
role and influence in various relationships.
In this complicated world where you may tend to be disarrayed from a
healthy relationship, you can only buckle yourself up with the essential keys on
becoming responsible in any form of our relationships before muddling into serious
problems like unwholesome arguments and/or ugly separation. Read and study
carefully the six major elements of becoming a responsible person in a relationship.

6 Major Elements of Becoming Responsible in a Relationship

These six elements of becoming responsible in any form of relationship
will make you gain and maintain a stronger relationship with your family, friends,
and special someone.

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-

7
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 favourite 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.

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.

8
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
behaviour 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.
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.
