Are You Responsible?

Dear married,

Every one in a marriage has responsibilities.

Responsibility is the state of having a DUTY to deal with something or being responsible/accountable or to blame for something.

Your responsibilities are those things that would make it look like you don't exist in the marriage, if there are lapses or cracks.

Your responsibilities should never be seen as "doing a favor". You ain't doing your spouse a favor for handling your responsibilities.

Your responsibilities are nontransferable (only death should take them off)

Your responsibilities were not forced on you...they came with decisions you "chose to make"

 
Your responsibilities are never affected by a grudge between you and your spouse.

You may or may not get a thank you for taking care of your responsibilities.

Your responsibilities should be handled with pride

Even God expects you to take care of your responsibilities (1 Tim 5:8)

Your responsibilities should never make you feel like "I didn't sign up for this"...because you actually did, maybe you just didn't read the "terms and conditions"

Your responsibilities at home and how you handle them say a lot about the kind of person you are.

Your responsibilities at home and how you handle them is directly proportional to how you would handle any position you are given...little wonder, the first set of deacons were qualified/disqualified based on this

How you handle your responsibilities at home draws or repels blessings

God is watching how you handle your responsibilities
