ARE YOU IN A JUST RELATIONSHIP?
A relationship in which there is justice implies a concern for the welfare of self and others. Such a relationship includes mutuality, shared power, trust, choice, responsibility and respect for bodily integrity.
Your answers to the following questions may help you decide whether your relationship is based on love and justice.
1. Do I share the power equally in this relationship?
2. Do I respect the wishes of the other person and my own regarding intimacy and physical
or sexual contact?
3. Do I trust that the other person will not betray or intentionally injure me?
4. Do I freely and with full knowledge choose to interact with this person?
5. Does the other person freely and with full knowledge choose to interact with me?
If you were not able to answer YES to all of the above questions then an imbalance of power probably exists in your relationship.
