COURTSHIP

Don’t treat your spouse openness as vulnerability but as strength.

Many will use the information they know about their spouse’s family, health, finances, and shortcomings to the detriment of their spouses. Yet, such partners do complain that they are not getting enough information from their spouses.

As intending partners, there must be people in your life that you hold yourself accountable to; likewise, your intending partner must have people that he or she holds in high esteem, and both of you must have the culture of being accountable to another, both in courtship and in marriage. This way, commitment will be easily sustained for a forever love journey.

Manipulating a person into embarking on a marital relationship with you can only work for a short period of time, not for a lifetime.

If you are a person who does not love yourself well enough, loving your spouse adequately might be a difficult task for you, as marital commitment involves paying maximum attention to your spouse, which could be draining on your part if you don’t have a reservoir of love for yourself.

No two marital relationships are the same because commitment means different things to different people based on an individual’s personality, family background, exposure, experience, love need, and maturity.

There are basic characteristics or attitudes that indicate commitment in a marital relationship. Meaning that there are basic prices that must be paid if a marital relationship will be blissful and experience consistent affection.

People might have the same temperament, but no two individuals have the same personality.

Physical compatibility cannot be over emphasized regarding marital compatibility. For instance, it is best that the age disparity between couples is not too wide.

Commitment is the act of paying the price tag that is required to make a marital relationship achieve its actual goal of “happily ever after.”.
