Commitment is a positive actions. If it is not there, one party committed a fraud! |
Commitment is a challenge
even to the most loving couple; hence the spiraling divorce cases and or
dysfunctional families. Long-term relationship is a decision to commit to one
person, allowing your heart to over-rule your ego every time temptation to give
up rears its ugly face!
What is a commitment?
Commitment is a vow you
have pledged to the partner in a long-term relationship. It is an obligation,
dedicated to keeping the bond alive through loyalty and maintaining integrity
of the words of promise. It is fanning the fire of love with pure thoughts;
daily affirmation of keeping it alive and intentional actions that build
stronger bond.
The don’ts of committing to long-term relationship!
A long-term relationship
is a joint venture which requires each party to understand its purpose and how
to make it work. It requires a revelation of unity of thoughts, words and
actions because all are creative and therefore must generate similar vibrations.
The following are highlights of don’ts in committing to a long-term relationship:
1.
Never doubt the
intensity of the other party’s commitment because of flaws. Doubt is a breeding
phase of a negative energy which tends to keep record of mistakes to birth a point
of negative intention.
2.
Never entertain a
negative thought about the other party; kill it as soon as it emerges. Remember
a thought is classified as important if you allow it to stay in your mind for
about twenty seconds.
3.
Never allow a friend’s
whisper about what occurred in your absence. What you do not know will never
hurt you!
The dos of committing to long-term relationship!
The bond of love should
really be a bond - leaving no space for anything or anyone. If there is a space for your mother and
father, then you did not understand the part about cleaving onto each other until
death part you both. You surely missed the part about being one, and being
promised a blessing when you stay that way! So, how does one commit to a
long-term relationship?
1.
Do flood your mind
with thoughts of love and how to keep it that way.
The reliable source of commitment is therefore your heart...! |
2.
Do communicate
openly; revealing your gloom and glories! Never keep your partner in suspense
when you have had a rough day!
3.
Do become
vulnerable to each other; that will give ego no room to hedge around the truth
or manipulate each other. When you open up and allow each other to see and feel
all of you, you truly become one! The Creator who designed marriage promised to
feed that love with unnumbered blessings.
4.
Do remember the cardinal
rules: A man is a provider and must love you; your part is simply allowing him
to shower you with love by submitting to that love and trusting the universe to
meet you half-way. Love plus submission equals commitment to long-term
relationship!
5.
Trust and respect are the main ingredients of
commitment; it is a recipe of true love that outlives aging and physical shortcomings.
6.
When challenges of
parenting come, resort to the marriage designer’s rules about raising children;
avoid opting for your individual parents’ approaches. Referring to your respective socialization
will punch a hole in your vow on ‘cleaving to one another’!
Do
take control of maintaining your commitment to your long-term relationship by sharing
your thought; offering helpful information without watering down each other’s
point of view with derogative words. Commitment to long-term relationship is a
spiritual journey; it requires very little social concepts. The evidence of their failure is a list of
prisons that house murderers of their once loved ones and court-cases that
created a lucrative career for lawyers! Commitment
is a personal value of keeping marriage promises until the natural death
of one of the parties.
