COMMITMENT AND SELF-LOVE

One of the important factors that helps stabilize marital relationships is accountability to your partner, to your mentor, and to a common mentor you both have.

It is very important that you learn how not to put the responsibility of what God alone can do for you on your spouse. Unrealistic expectations do erode marital commitment faster than it can be imagined, just as erosion will always wash away the top layer of the soil.

You cannot be better than what you think about yourself neither can you relate better with others or to your spouse better than how you relate to yourself.

Medical incompatibility is capable of draining commitment in the long run, especially where there is no strong conviction and support for such a union from the start.

Your past cannot be rewritten; anyone who cannot cope with it does not deserve a future with you.
