Commitment, are you ready? It all comes down to this, whether you can commit yourself to one person and one significant Relationship, possibly forever!

 “If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.” – Oscar Wilde.

Dramatic as it may seem, Irish poet Oscar Wilde has got it spot on. When you are ready and lucky enough to meet the right person one day, nothing will come in the way of the two intertwining souls. My younger friends, I totally understand if you think this is all a bit too heavy and demanding; but it’s okay, we are busier than ever in the 21^st century, during our younger years we do not really want a commitment to anything else other than ourselves. Take your time and discover yourself, make sure you are ready for a true relationship.

Before you think about being in a committed relationship, you need to learn how stay happy being single. If you are bitter at being single, then you will tend to settle out of loneliness. Did you just come out of a long-term relationship or a bad break up? Then take your time to get over your ex before you even think about commitment again. I cannot stress enough how important these two preliminary steps to be. If you want to be in a healthy relationship one day, you must let go of all baggage and make sure you are committing for the right reasons.

Once you have chosen to commit yourself to another person you will understand the importance of communication; strong communication ensures a steady flow of trust immersed in a tight bond between any couple. Are you starting to put someone else’s interests before you? This may come down to compromising over watching a movie that you may not like or eating a type of food which isn’t necessarily your favorite. If you are started to act this way, then maybe you care about the person enough to commit. With commitment, you learn to accept someone as they are. You will not try to change each other but will try to improve each other instead. A committed relationship means that you will have to blend your life into someone else’s, you will share friends, food, pets, hobbies, living spaces, and so forth. Again, if you do not feel the need for this right now, then you are not ready for any serious form of commitment.
