Do You Know What It Means To Commit In Love?

We go through life totally discombobulated and oblivious to the concept of commitment and relationships. We have been convinced that relationships are no different from revolving doors. We have become comfortable with the idea of leaving and coming back, breaking up and trying again, running and returning the moment we catch up with our emotions realizing our decisions were completely illogical.
What is the problem in 2015?
Why do so many marriages end before they even begin to crawl?
Why are the words "I love you" used so loosely?
Why is it so easy to quit when you've invested so much time and energy?
Is love and companionship really that expendable?
Maybe so for some people.
My question stated in the title is "Do You Know What It Means To Commit In Love?"
Love. We all know this word well so I won't bother defining it. Webster defines the word commitment as the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity. Synonyms for the word commitment are responsibility, obligation, duty, fidelity, devotion, allegiance and so on and so forth.

In other words, it is pretty serious. Not to be played with like child games. You don't throw temper tantrums and throw all the pieces off the board and go play with somebody else. No, not at all. You get mad, go in your corner and come back when you're ready play again.
Communication is the key to any relationship. Talk about it. Cry about it. Scream about it. Laugh about it. Do whatever is the healthiest thing to do.
Don't be a punk and keep running from love. Commit! It'll be worth it in the end.

  1. Commitment, big deal. Some ppl know what it means to commit in love, and some ppl are just confused once they commit in love. One of the problems is that ppl don't know how to separate self from society. Society makes the breaking up/making up, infidelity, and all the other jab seem "normal" and acceptable. I mean, we know it's not always peaches and cream. Things happen. It's really important to get to know self first though. Figure out what it is you really want for yourself and your future...Work on self BEFORE MAKING ANY COMMITMENT...Helps mold the heart and mind to build you up to do what it takes to make it work. "Don't be a punk...". Opposites attract, but it's going to take two of the same to be of one accord.

    **Great topic btw**
