- Mutual Respect
- Trust
- Honesty
- Support
- Fairness/equality
- Separate identities
- Good Communication
- MUTUAL RESPECT:
When friends show each other KINDNESS, CARE, AND CONSIDERATION; when they LISTEN to each other, HELP each other, SUPPORT each other, and INCLUDE each other as often as possible – always taking into consideration the other person’s feelings.
- TRUST:
When friends can share their feelings without worrying or fearing that they will be laughed at or ridiculed, they feel safe knowing that no matter what happens, they will never disclose what the other person has told them because doing this would be wrong.
- HONESTY:
When friends tell each other the truth about what they are thinking and/or feeling and do this with great care so as not to hurt the other person. They understand that whatever is said is never said to harm or hurt each other but is said from a place of care and concern.
- SUPPORT:
When friends support each other they do this in many ways. They encourage each other, offer help to one another (i.e., homework, advice), and ultimately support each other by spending time together and being kind.
- FAIRNESS/EQUITY:
When friends treat each other fairly, they understand each other’s needs, strengths, and limitations, and work together to ensure inclusivity. They never try to take advantage of each other but always respect one another’s boundaries.
- SEPARATE IDENTITIES :
Not everyone has the same interests and needs. When in a relationship with others, it is important to respect each other’s separate interests and needs regardless of whether they are interests and needs of our own. Having separate identities means that we may not spend every moment of the day with someone, however, when we get together, we feel more confident in who we are, causing our relationships with others to be healthier and happier.
- GOOD COMMUNICATION:
Establishing clear rules of communication. Not everyone feels comfortable talking about things that bother them when they come up. Some people confront the problem head-on. Be patient. To maintain a healthy relationship, it’s important to be open to talking and listening.
Why is forgiveness important? How can you apply the message of the importance of forgiveness in your own life?
Forgiveness is important because God teaches us to always forgive others, as he did.
Forgiveness is vital for healing our relationships with ourselves, God, and others.
