It's important in the midst of conflict or struggle to look at ourselves and figure out if there is anything in us that might have caused the conflict/rift/upheaval. It's equally as important to remember that just as there is always something sinful in my body and being, there is something sinful in the other's body and being that is causing the conflict/rift/upheaval.
That means that it's wise to take some responsibility, but not total responsibility in any given situation. There's a sign in the substance abuse treatment center that I used to work in that reads this way: "Do not feel totally, personally, irrevocably responsible for everything. That's my job. - God". There's some perspective.
