| Marriage and commitment go hand in hand, a cornerstone of your relationship with your spouse. It is the unwavering loyalty and allegiance to your partner for a lifetime, which is the core strength of the marriage. There may be many reasons why people stay committed in a relationship. From moral reasons to religious beliefs and social norms, commitment and loyalty is important for a successful relationship. |
 |
| Another reason that commitment makes the marriage stable is due to intermingling of assets. Most of them have children, pool money together and have a social life that is difficult to separate. This is the practical commitment which makes more sense to stay in the relationship than to leave it. Thus, it has been seen that more than the emotional connection, it is the moral and structural commitments that keeps the marriage together for many couples. Their happiness is secondary. |
|
| Another facet of commitment in a marriage is the emotional component. This works for couples that have a high emotional bond. They stay in the marriage due to the sense of responsibility and, not out of necessity. However, the most important aspect is the personal commitment. The emotional considerations in a marriage directly affect the relationship because based on you own feelings about the spouse, you behave with them accordingly. Couples with higher personal commitments work effectively on their relationships to ensure that the marriage is on solid ground. They don’t focus on personal requirements, but work as a team, while sharing hopes and dreams together. This is the best type of marriage and works for the happiness of the couple. |
|
| Marriage and commitment is a two way path. One partners commitment will not make the marriage last but both need to be committed towards the marriage and each other. That is why it is important to look at the ancillary aspects of a solid and balanced relationship- honesty, trust and respect for each other. That further strengthens the commitment. |
