Are you playing the right role?
Posted By Royce Gomez on April 7, 2010
There are basically 3 roles we play in our relationships: parent, child, adult. A parent has all the choice and all the responsibility for herself and the child. A child has no choice and no responsibility (this obviously changes to increase choice and responsibility as the child ages) for herself. An adult has full choice and full responsibility for only herself. So if you are in a husband/wife relationship and you are treating your spouse like your child, you may be in the wrong role. Or perhaps, you are a grown child (now in the adult role) and your parent is still trying to have all the choice in your life. Assess where you are at and see if you are in the right role. If not, you may be creating unnecessary conflict.
