The Importance Of A True Commitment In Marriage

By Nicole Anne A. Smith

Unpleasant as it may be, divorce or at least the possibility of it is a very real thing that many married couples have undergone. And one can argue that there is one key element that could prevent such scenario from happening, and that element is the presence of a true commitment. It seems that most of us have forgotten that committing yourself to the other person through the marriage it not only decided by saying “I do” during the wedding ceremony. Before deciding to marry someone, your decision should be well pondered and with no second thoughts whatsoever. Marriage entails responsibility that requires both physical and emotional capability for one to be qualified. So to ensure that the marriage will bring a happy life for you and your spouse, a full commitment is a prerequisite.

A marriage commitment is similar to a pledge or promise between two married persons. When you are committing to a the other person through marriage, it means that you are willing to give up or sacrifice everything for the sake of the marriage. And that means fully dedicating yourself to the other person. It basically means that he or she is yours, and that you are his or hers. Marriage commitment is one of the key factor to a happy marriage. Committing yourself to someone means that you are offering yourself to your spouse entirely. Monogamy is one of the most important prerequisite when it comes to commitment. So obviously, being in a marriage is not for those who thinks that variety is the key to life’s happiness.

If you are in marriage commitment, you simply cannot afford to be selfish. A selfish person is not a truly committed because he or she will most likely commit actions that will only satisfy himself or herself. But that is not how things work when it comes to a marriage. Everything that you do should be for the good of the marriage. And that includes making sacrifices and compromises. But there is one matter that compromises are not applicable, and that is with infidelity. Once you break down that barrier of fidelity, then you have also consequently destroyed the trust that your partner has given to you. And that sort of trust is difficult to restore. And that lack of trust can haunt the relationship forever, until the couple decides to call the marriage off.

So in any relationship, and most especially those that are bonded with marriage, it is very important true and full commitment is present. By having such level of commitment you are also building a strong foundation for your marriage. A poor marriage foundation can easily crumble and may result to a divorce proceeding which is never a pleasant experience to go through. Learn to deal with problems and conflicts as soon as it rears its ugly head out. Being committed also means being honest with regards to your feelings and emotions to your spouse. Always keep in mind that marriage commitment entails love, affection, respect, honesty and acceptance. Keep that in mind and you’re on your way to a happy and healthy married life.
