The opposite of responsibility – are you this in your marriage?

The opposite of responsibility – are you this in your marriage?
I am very excited about this week’s topic because it is a foundation to EVERYTHING IN LIFE, including your marriage.
It is the foundation for YOU as a MAN (not the other way around – this is not the foundation for your wife).

The topic is RESPONSIBILITY.

Now, instead of talking about what responsibility looks like I am going to start backwards and talk about what it SHOULDN’T look like.
Chances are that if you are struggling in your marriage, then you will identify with these easier at first than trying to grasp responsibility.

Symptoms of being irresponsible:

  • You hide out from others
  • You delay stuff in your life and don’t get them done
  • You bullshit yourself with lies to achieve the above two
  • You don’t honor your word to others and to yourself
  • You blame others for things happening in your life and marriage
  • You feel like a victim
  • Things happen to you instead of you making things happen
  • You judge others (which is different than “having an opinion” about others)
  • Your emotions are out of control and there is a constant sense of heavy weight on you
  • You feel anxiety and/or panic
  • You have behaviors that are not serving you, yet you cannot stop them
There are many more I can list, but these are the obvious ones that should give you goosebumps if you are doing any of these.
And to be clear, while it is likely that multiple of these are showing up in your life, even if 1 is showing up, then you are on the level of irresponsible.
I will share more about why I say this in tomorrow’s email as it requires me to deliver a contextual shift – in other words it will take a full email to achieve that! Lol
Be the bowl,
