How committed are you to learning and growth?
How committed are you to expressing the 'best you' possible?
How committed are you to your partner?
You can ask this same question about many other areas of your life.
 
Commitment can be both a fact and an attitude.
For example:
The fact is that when you marry, you take vows of commitment.
Keeping that commitment alive is an attitude.
What we do, how we behave, and what we say, reveals our attitude.
 
"When you are single and dating is your opportunity to explore possibilities. When you enter a pre-committed relationship is your chance to fully compare your requirements with the reality. Ideally, you make a commitment with full consciousness and clarity that this is what you want, accepting all challenges and obstacles as part of the package." (David Steele, Commitment: The Path to Relationship Happiness)
 
What would be reasons to break a commitment in a relationship?

• Is unhappiness a valid reason or just an indication that there is work to be done?
• Is emotional or physical abuse a reason?
• Is adultery a reason?
• Is your partner's refusal to be influenced, take responsibility and change their behavior when appropriate, a reason?

Some benefits of commitment in relationship: (Steele, 2015)
1.  Companionship - We are social beings comforted by closeness. Married people are healthier, happier and live longer than non-married.
2.  Intimacy - Emotional closeness, love, trust, mutual support, builds and improves over time and is much more difficult to achieve as a single or in non-committed relationships.
3.  Safe & good sex - committed monogamous partners have more and better sex than singles and non-committed partners.
4.  Family - Children and adults thrive in stable, long-term, multi-generational relationships.
5.  Economics - Committed couples are financially more successful than singles and non-committed partners.
6.  Community - Extended family, neighbors, churches and other forms thrive in the stability of committed relationships.
7.  Mental/Emotional/Physical Health - Married adults live longer and have fewer mental/emotional problems.
