commitment

Love grows and wanes, but honor, duty, and commitment, those things are constant and stable. They define who you are.

I love her. I love her. I love her. I love her. And this time, I will never let her go.

Love will commit, or love will commit suicide.

When you consider the many pressures that couples face today, only an iron-clad determination will hold them together for a lifetime. Those who go into marriage with a mushy commitment are likely to wobble and fall apart when the hard times come. And as we all know, hard times will come.

Toni's Talk: When you invest in yourself, you have instant credibility with your biggest critic...you! As soon as you let doubt creep in---you lose that investment. Make a daily commitment to assess your worth with positive affirmations and watch your investment grow.

For every writer, there is a challenge of time that is only magnified in the solitude of the work.

It's hard to stay committed when our heart isn't in it.

Focus is a mental commitment to winning against all odds. Focus is beyond putting things together in order to reach a goal.

There are no commitments, only bargains. And they have to be made again every day. You think making a commitment is it. Finish. You think it sets like a concrete platform and it'll take any strain you want to put on it. You're committed. You don't have to prove anything. In fact you can afford a little neglect, indulge in a little bit of sarcasm here and there, isolate yourself when you want to. Underneath it's concrete for life. I'm a cow in some ways, but you're an idiot.

Your commitment to follow God's plan makes a difference in the atmosphere in your home and improves the climate of your marriage.

Love is more than flirty feelings and fun dates. It's about what lives underneath the surface. The commitment you keep even when life gets hard and all the fuzzy feelings fade.

We do not owe any soul, except that which played the most vital role in our lives.
