Commitment
When I first entered in a relationship, I was looking for a whole-hearted commitment. I’ve seen a lot of relationship fail because this is lacking. They simply give up when tough times occur rather than thoroughly looking at other options to have the problem solved.
I think it is the key element besides love that will hold our bond when we are at the toughest point of the relationship. I was fortunate enough to meet and fall in love with someone who is committed in our relationship. We’ve been into rocky situations during our three years of bf-gf stage but we saw it through.
Commitment can be likened to a push pull connector. It is a type of cable interconnect that provides a strong locking mechanism that is only released by squeezing the connecting body. This prevents it from accidental disconnects. The same is true for commitments. If we honor it, it will keep the relationship intact despite adversities and trials.
M0rn1ng had been out of work for almost a year when we were still dating. It was a tough situation because finding a job is so hard. Add up to that are the numerous criticisms that you hear from other people on why your boyfriend doesn’t have a job. It is easy to ignore at first but as the situation lingers, you find the situation hard to endure. It is easy to get impatient as disappointments come after another disappointment.
Good thing M0rn1ng doesn’t wallow on self pity and has full faith in God that he will eventually find a job and he did find a job after one and half year of searching. There was a time that I wanted to give up that I grew tired of supporting him against unwelcomed comments from friends. But he always reminds me to have patience on our relationship and we will see it through. And we did!
It was a test of commitment and we passed. It left a lesson we carried on to our married life. During our wedding vows, we promised to stick with each other no matter what and we intend to keep that promise made infront of God and others.
