7 SECRETS TO FAMILY SUCCESS
SECRET #2 - COMMITMENT
Couples who are successful view their marriages as a permanent union. When problems come up they strive to solve it rather than use it as an excuse to leave the marriage. It's amazing to observe that when you and your mate have sense of commitment you both feel so secure. Each trusts that the other will continue to honor the union.
In the seven years I've been married, I realized that commitment is the backbone of a strong marital relationship. Unfortunately, to many conflicts can make commitment seem more like trap than a trust. The promise, "till death do us part" becomes more like a cold contract, one in which a spouse will try to find or wish had loopholes. They might not abandon the marriage literally, but they could "walk out" in other ways. For example, by retreating into stony silence when serious issues need to be discussed.
When the tough get going, don't go. Think of one or two things you could do to strengthen your commitment. What could or should you do? Why not write a love letter to your spouse or keep photos of your spouse on your desk at work. Or phone your mate each day from work just to say hi or how you doing boo?
Why not come up with several suggestions, discuss it with your spouse and tell me what works for you?
Why not share your resolves with your family? When one member shows willingness to change, the others are more likely to follow.
