Genji Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I have a general idea of what commitment is, but I don't think I fully understand it. Sort of an embarrassing question.

starryeyez Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 personally, i think commitment liek a commited relationship is when 2 people decide they r gunna b there for each other through the good and the bad, your saying your going to be commited to each other which means not cheating. When things go wrong you dont just run away from the relationship like nothing happend, you try and work it out because your love for each other is worth it
Island Girl Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Commitment to me is different compared to the context. I was in commited relationships before marriage. That just meant we were together and moving toward more (like marriage, etc.) but if there were obvious huge differences (the kind that only become apparent after time and growth) one of us or both of us could walk away. I am married now. That level of commitment is a pledge to be together through thick and thin. It is a decision on both parts to work out whatever comes and work together through life. It took a lot of discussion and learning about each other to get to the point where we could do that. We even went through premarital counseling to get possible future issues as in raising of children, etc. out in the open because when dating or living together not all things faced in marriage come out. When we got married and made the commitment to stand together for hopefully the next 40 or 50 years - or more - we both had all our questions answered and a great understanding of how to work together.
