When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment.
When you are seeing somebody, then obviously it's a commitment. And if you don't want to commit, then don't be in a relationship. Every relationship deserves a certain credibility and respectability. For me, it's always been like that.
Every relationship you have, you're learning and growing and taking something from that.
I think commitment is very important, particularly for me.
Relationships are about helping motivate each other to be all that you can be.
Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.
For most of us, relationship with another is based on dependence, either economic or psychological. This dependence creates fear, breeds in us possessiveness, results in friction, suspicion, frustration.
What defines a relationship is the work that's involved to maintain it, and it's constantly changing.
I think when you're in a relationship, either you have something or your partner generally has something that you're having to deal with.
I don't see the point in marriage: if you make a commitment, you make a commitment. Fidelity is important to me; it's about honouring that commitment.
