Let’s see how commitment makes all the difference in creating a strong married life and some tips on how to stay committed to yourselves.
What Does Commitment Look Like?
When considering what being truly committed looks like in a marriage, one must consider aspects beyond loyalty and love – factors such as trustworthiness; communication; joining each other’s interests; appreciation of family members; standing up for each other during challenging situations; spending quality time together – regardless of routines imposed by society or culture…all of which strengthen bonds within any type of relationship! When couples commit to these principles, they create an atmosphere where differences cease to exist because respect keeps everything from crumbling down.
God wants you and your loved one to be forever committed to each other and warned any intruder from pulling you apart! That is how much God wanted it! You can rightly say that God is committed to your commitment!
Mat 19:4-6 (MSG)
[4] He answered, “Haven’t you read in your Bible that the Creator originally made man and woman for each other, male and female? [5] And because of this, a man leaves father and mother and is firmly bonded to his wife, becoming one flesh—no longer two bodies but one. [6] Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart.”
