A contract between two people usually entails that both parties commit themselves to the specified terms of the agreement.  Those terms entail specified actions that both persons must honor in order for the contract to have validity. 

 The same can be said of a marriage or relationship.  There is an agreement from both persons that they will each remain committed to each other because without commitment, there is no stability, there is no bedrock foundation from which that relationship can last.  The promise to stay faithful “for better or for worse, in sickness and in health”, this is the foundation of a healthy committed relationship.  It’s a statement that you will stick with your spouse even though times get rough and all looks bleak.  Commitment is the foundation of societies because without it, nothing gets accomplished. 

 Commitment is the foundation of a healthy relationship.  Both partners, committed to the general health and well being of the other, is what it is all about.  Commitment is something that must be renewed on a daily or weekly basis.  Because life throws curve balls at every one of us, it is important to renew your commitment to your spouse.  It is important to keep the channels flowing.  When both partners are fully committed to growing their relationship, it is then that they are on the solid path to a healthy and viable love life.
