"Commitment
is a persevering, unwavering devotion that even death itself cannot
sway, a loyal determination to fulfill what one has promised, and
ever present "we-ness" that sustains a union through the
years." In marriage we want to know and feel that our needs and
wants will be met. More importantly though we want to feel secure in
our relationships and that our commitment to each other will see us
through both the good times and the bad times.
"Commitment
has this ideal thread of someone driven by desire and devotion...
Obligation, responsibility, and dedication demand perseverance when a
commitment has been made. Regardless of your obstacles, genuine
commitment presses on." It's easy to stay committed to someone
throughout the good and happy times. However many obstacles will
happen over the course of our lives and marriages. It is through
these bad times we can have our relationships and commitment to each
other strengthened if both partners are willing to commit to each
other and work hard in their relationship.
