The better our relationships are, the better our lives will be.

Agreeableness and responsibility combined bring healthy relationships.

Our culture has a habit of downplaying, dismissing, or minimizing responsibility.

Responsibility
The state or fact of being responsible, answerable, or accountable for something within one's power, control, or management

There are three types of people:
Owners
Renters
Squatter

Being irresponsible drives a wedge in relationships

Responsibility helps bring relationships closer together

The serpent confuses what God has made clear.

The enemy takes a good desire and twists it, so we end up doing something bad

Hiding is a sign of irresponsibility

We find reasons or excuses for our behaviour and choices and blame other people

Blaming is a sign that you need to step up and take responsibility

Blaming divides, harms and damages relationships

Lack of ownership

We need to take responsibility and stop blaming, hiding, and not owning our behaviour

Where do you need to take responsibility in your relationships?

Is there anything you're hiding?

Is there anyone or anything you are incorrectly blaming instead of owning?

CHALLENGE
To take responsibility in your relationships, to make them better, healthier, and whole.
