Commitment
Commitment and loyalty are somewhat intertwined when we consider the way in which one should behave towards a partner. Commitment is about promising yourself to the other person in terms of their physical and emotional needs. This feeling of ‘giving of yourself’ to the other person should also be reciprocated from your partner towards you. Commitment should always be a reciprocal feeling between both parties involved in the relationship.
Commitment is an essential relationship skill that can be built upon and developed through spending more time with your boyfriend or girlfriend. This is because through getting to know them more as an individual, the strength of your commitment towards them should grow as well. Spending time together and building a strong sense of trust between your partner and yourself will increase both of your resolve that this is the person that you wish to commit yourself both physically and emotionally to.
Commitment as a word can also have negative connotations attached to it, but essentially in terms of a relationship it should be something that you both consciously and gladly enter into.
