There’s More To Being Committed Than Just Being Faithful

SHARE

Being committed to your significant other is about more than just being loyal to them. It’s about more than just resisting the temptation to flirt with some hot guy or girl at the bar. It’s about more than removing Tinder from your phone. It’s about more than just promising to spend the rest of your life with this person.

There’s more to being committed to your partner than just being faithful to them. Making a commitment means being willing to invest time and effort in your relationship. It means not being afraid to sacrifice your own happiness, priorities, needs, and desires for those of your significant other. It means being willing to leave your comfort zone and go the extra mile to make your partner feel emotionally fulfilled, content, and safe.

Being committed to your significant other is about always finding the strength to deal with problems as soon as they appear in your relationship instead of pretending that they don’t exist and allowing them to escalate and gradually ruin your relationship.

Being committed to your partner is about always being true to your word. It’s about keeping your promises. It’s about working hard to gain your partner’s trust and prove worthy of it. 

Being committed means always being there for your significant other when they need you. It means giving them your unconditional support and help. It means never leaving them to deal with their worries and pain on their own. It means being their crying shoulder. Their most comforting hug. Their most devoted fan. Their best friend. Their lover. Their partner in crime.

Being committed is about believing in your partner and motivating them to work on and improve themselves. It’s about encouraging them to pursue their highest goals and wildest dreams. It’s about reminding them to believe in themselves even when no one else does. It’s about knowing their worth and reminding them of it as well.

Being committed to your partner is about sharing your lives with each other. It’s about accepting each other the way you are. It’s about respecting each other’s ideas and opinions no matter how different they are. It’s about making your partner feel free and comfortable to share their deepest insecurities, fears, and secrets with you.

Being committed is about letting your significant other undress their soul in front of you and show you all their vulnerabilities. It’s about letting them know that you’ll never judge them or belittle them because of their weaknesses and mistakes. It’s about letting them be themselves when they’re around you.

Being committed means treating your significant other with kindness, compassion, and dignity. It means taking care of their feelings, needs and wishes. It means showing them how much they mean to you. It means protecting their heart and making them feel safe.

There’s more to being committed to your partner than just spending your time with them. Being committed means including them in your plans for the future. It means creating a family and life together. It means imagining growing old by their side.

Being committed is about accepting the fact that you and your significant other will face many difficult challenges, problems, and tests in your relationship, but also knowing that you can overcome anything together.

Being committed is about loving your significant other with your entire heart. It’s about loving them honestly. Selflessly. Deeply. Passionately. Unconditionally. It’s about giving your best to keep the spark between you always alive. It’s about proudly wearing your heart on your sleeve and fearlessly fighting for your partner. It’s about not being afraid to love and be loved.
