Rules Of Relationship

All relationships have rules and expectations guiding them. To excel in a particular relationship and  also enjoy all the entitlements due to you in it, you must know and understand the rules guiding that type of relationship. 

 

A wife that wants to enjoy the joy of a good husband must understand men and know how to bring out the best in her man. She must have a sound understanding of the duties, roles and responsibilities of a husband. She must also know the rights, entitlements and expectations of a good husband material.

 

A husband that wants to know the joy of having a good wife must understand the nature of women. He must know how to love and cherish a woman into submission. He must be ready to live up to his duties and responsibilities as a good head. He has to be willing to invest substance and value into his woman so as to be able to enjoy respect and honour from and through her.

 

Parents must have a proper understanding of the relationship between them and their children. They have to understand that their children are not an extension of their lives but they are unique and separate individuals in their own right. Being a father or a mother is a privilege given to mentor and be fully involved in the formation process of a human being. The power attached to this responsibility/privilege is enormous. It should not be abused or taken for granted. Rather, it should be cherished and respected, knowing fully well that the relationship you share with your child is not a static one but an evolving relationship, that will keep changing/maturing from time to time, with constant change in the dynamics of the relationship if it is to be a healthy and loving relationship. It's a well informed child that will be dutiful and responsible. And a responsible child need not necessarily be at the beck and call of his/her parents as long as provision is made for those that will be.

 

In an employer/employee relationship, punctuality, respect, accountability, honesty, integrity, honour, responsibility and intelligence is key. So also is a sense of individuality, confidence, conviction and respect for self. For people will treat you the way you allow yourself to be treated.

 

In every kind of relationship, know the rules and expectations that governs it, so that you will not be frustrated in your relationships. Align yourself with the demands placed on you, place demands on the other party (ies), ensure that your needs are being met as you meet the needs of others for a mutually beneficial relationship.

 

Life is to be enjoyed and not to be endured!
