       One fundamental thing I have had to learn over the years is that if I truly love someone then I do not fear what they will do and I am not too attached to them. Perhaps you’ve come to this realization yourself. That is, when we truly love a person, we are not afraid of A) what the person may do, and B) actually losing the person. We want those we love to make the right choices. We don’t want them to make choices that harm themselves. We also don’t want a loved one to leave us. That could be either actually dying or even just exiting our life. But, with all this said, if we truly love a person, we aren’t permanently attached to them. One of the reasons for this lack of attachment is because every person is responsible for him or herself. You and I cannot be held responsible for the actions of others. Unless we have deliberately lead them astray, or done something against them, we cannot blame ourselves if they make choices that we don’t want them to make. Truly, everyone is independent to themselves.

       All these things come from the Bible. If you don’t read the Bible, or know it, or follow it, then what I am saying is indeed vain. It’s pointless for you. Unless, perhaps, just perhaps, you decide today that you are going to change directions. Perhaps things have come tumbling toward the edge of the cliff in your family situation. Well, it’s not too late. Pick up your Bible and start reading it. Start praying to God about what you should do. I suppose for those who did get married in the first place that you didn’t do so to end up failing. I don’t think anyone goes into something, especially something big, expecting to or even wanting to fail. So, you must have some good drive inside of you somewhere. If you’ve taken the responsibility, now is the time to take it all seriously before it is too late. You don’t want to live a lesser life because you, yourself, failed to do what is right. You don’t want to fail at being a good husband, or a good wife, or good parents. What you really want is to take the responsibility now and make correction where needed. There is still time to do that.

       Each partner in the marriage is responsible to do his or her part. That’s in how they act and how they treat. That involves give and take. That involves sharing the responsibility of caring for the children. You don’t have to take on these responsibilities if you don’t want to. God doesn’t demand everyone get into a relationship and get married. Isn’t all this talk of mine just vain though? Am I just talking to the drywall? Well, in a way perhaps what I am saying about responsibility is vain. That’s because it certainly is true that a person needs to have values in the first place in order to implement those values. Where do we get our values, as Christians? Where do we get our morality? How we are supposed to live? All these things come from the Bible. If you don’t read the Bible, or know it, or follow it, then what I am saying is indeed vain. It’s pointless for you. Unless, perhaps, just perhaps, you decide today that you are going to change directions. Perhaps things have come tumbling toward the edge of the cliff in your family situation. Well, it’s not too late. Pick up your Bible and start reading it. Start praying to God about what you should do.

       Let’s get a little tuff here for a moment. Why do we see so many children with single parents these days? Is it because one person goes off and cheats, which in turn leads the other person in the marriage to file for divorce? Sometimes. Is it because people don’t make the commitment for marriage in the first place? Certainly a lot of times. Is it due to the fact that the children are undisciplined which causes the home to wind up in turmoil and the parents to separate? I suppose that happens. The root, however, behind all these kinds of situations is that fact that one person, or both people, in the relationship are failing to take responsibility. No one said anyone had to get married. No one said anyone had to have kids. If you’ve made those choices, then you have taken a certain, specific, important, in fact crucial responsibility upon yourself. Man or woman, it doesn’t matter. Each partner in the marriage is responsible to do his or her part. That’s in how they act and how they treat. That involves give and take. That involves sharing the responsibility of caring for the children.

       For them, letting other more important people make all the necessary decisions is good and comforting. They really don’t have to do anything but follow. Even though it may seem like a harder life, I think actually it is an easier life. No big decisions have to be made. Other the other hand, there are those people who just cannot follow rules that usually don’t make sense to them. Perhaps a few of them make sense, or even half of them, but then there are the many rules that don’t make sense. The ones that seem hypocritical. These people die at the lack of individuality. So, the question everyone must ask is, “Which type of person am I?” Can you be content your whole life letting others tell you what to do, tell you what the Bible really says, tell you you have to give your money, and try to point you where you should go? Or, are you the type of person that wants to decide all these facts on your own? Does it really annoy you when people are trying to tell you this and that? Has God gifted you with such a mind as to know better? Certainly, we all have to figure out where we stand because trying to live in the wrong group will only produce a miserable life.
