The Marriage of My Dreams!

The Marriage of My Dreams!

Everyone who has experienced the joy of success, the celebration and the benefits that often come with it would understand that it only follows a period of focused and consistent channel of effort, even when it is inconvenient. "True commitment is proven when it is inconvenient to follow through and there is a price to be paid" | Victor Akunna

What then is commitment? According to Cambridge dictionary, commitment is "a willingness to give your time and energy to something that you believe in, or a promise or a firm decision to do something". Marital romance demands commitment. It takes commitment to regularly forgive; it takes commitment to meet your spouse's emotional needs when there is no commensurate show of affection; it takes commitment to consistently go out of your way to speak your spouse's love language; it takes commitment to sexually satisfy your spouse even when you don't feel like it. Whenever we see couples who have been enjoying a happy marriage for a prolonged period of time, what we often don't see is the commitment that has made it a reality.

Marital romance rides on commitment. Do you give up at the slightest sign of an obstacle? Do you explain away your lack of commitment? Are you waiting to see a change in your spouse before committing? What is preventing you from committing yourself to your spouse?

ACTION POINT: Commitment is a product the heart, make a conscious decision today to commit to your spouse and marriage.
